Response sender

The response sender defines the security requirements of the SOAP response message. The security handler acts on the security constraints that are defined for the response in the IBM® extension deployment descriptors.

Important: There is an important distinction between Version 5.x and Version 6.0.x and later applications. The information in this article supports Version 5.x applications only that are used with WebSphere® Application Server Version 6.0.x and later. The information does not apply to Version 6.0.x and later applications.
The IBM extension deployment descriptors are located in the ibm-webservices-ext.xmi file and the bindings, located in the ibm-webservices-bnd.xmi file. The security handler signs, encrypts, or generates the time stamp for the SOAP response message before the response is send to the caller.
Integrity constraints (digital signature)
You can select which parts of the message are digitally signed.
  • Body
  • Time stamp
Confidentiality (encryption)
You can encrypt the body content of the message.
Time stamp
You can have a time stamp for checking the timeliness of the message.

The security constraints that apply to the SOAP response message must match the security requirements defined in the response receiver. Otherwise, the response is rejected by the response receiver (caller).
