Configuring the Custom properties policy
When working with policy sets in the administrative console, you can customize policies to set generic properties that are not supported in other policy types. You must customize the Custom properties policy configuration because all properties within the policy are user-defined.
About this task
This administrative console page applies only to Java™ API for XML Web Services (JAX-WS) applications.
You can configure generic properties that are not supported in other policy types with the Custom properties policy. These additional properties are set in the binding. The Custom properties policy provides an alternative way to set a binding property instead of using the JAX-WS programming model to set the property on the BindingProvider object. The CustomProperties binding is only supported for service clients.
After you have created a new policy set with the Custom properties policy added, you must create a Custom properties binding and add at least one custom property to configure the binding. A Custom properties binding type can be added to a general client binding or an application specific client binding. You cannot create an empty Custom properties binding. You must define at least one name and value pair within the binding.
- You must not create attachments to policy sets containing CustomProperties policy for applications that are deployed on an application server that is prior to WebSphere® Application Server Version 8.0. The CustomProperties policy is only supported on WebSphere Application Server Version 8.0 and later.
- An application that contains an attachment to a policy set containing CustomProperties policy must not be deployed on an application server that is prior to WebSphere Application Server Version 8.0.
- If an application that is deployed in a cluster environment contains an attachment to a policy set containing CustomProperties policy, you must not add a member application server that is prior to WebSphere Application Server Version 8.0 to the cluster.
