HTTP transport bindings settings

Use this page to define the HTTP transport bindings for the HTTP transport policy.

To configure the HTTP transport bindings for the HTTP transport policy, perform the following:
  1. Navigate to the general bindings collection panel using either the Services > Policy sets > General client policy set bindings or Services > Policy sets > General provider policy set bindings path.
  2. Click a general binding in the Name column.
  3. Click the HTTP transport policy in the Policies table.

This administrative console page applies only to Java™ API for XML Web Services (JAX-WS) applications.

Important: You can also configure HTTP transport properties such as read or write timeout values for JAX-WS applications that are deployed in the same application server. If you want to customize these HTTP properties, you must edit the HTTP transport policy. To customize the HTTP transport policy settings, click Services > Policy sets > Application policy sets >policy_set_name>HTTP transport policy where policy_set_name applies to any policy set that contains the HTTP transport policy. Your customized values for the HTTP transport policy now apply for your policy set that contains that custom HTTP transport policy. You can attach this policy set that contains your customized HTTP transport policy to your application, its services, endpoints, or operations. This change affects all JAX-WS applications to which that policy set is attached. To learn more about attaching policy sets to applications, see the documentation for managing policy sets for service providers and service clients at the application level.
