Enabling Web Services Addressing support for JAX-WS applications using policy sets
For JAX-WS applications, you can enable WS-Addressing support after you deploy an application to the server, by creating or modifying policy sets, and attaching those policy sets to either a service or client application.
About this task
Procedure
- Ensure
that you have a policy set that contains the WS-Addressing
policy type. If you have to create a new policy set, or add the WS-Addressing policy to an existing policy set, refer to Managing policy sets using the administrative console for instructions.
- Configure the WS-Addressing policy type according
to the
instructions in Configuring the WS-Addressing policy. Use the two settings to specify whether WS-Addressing is mandatory, and whether to use a synchronous or asynchronous message exchange pattern. The default settings are that WS-Addressing is not mandatory, and that both synchronous and asynchronous messaging patterns are used.
- Attach the policy set to a web service provider or client artifact, according to the instructions in Attaching a policy set to a service artifact.
- Optional: If you want to communicate the WS-Addressing
policy settings to other servers and clients, configure policy sharing
as described in Configuring a service provider to share its policy configuration or Configuring the client policy to use a service provider policy. If policy sharing is enabled and the server and client cannot agree a policy, normal WS-Policy behavior applies (a policy error is produced).
Results
WS-Addressing properties are now included in the SOAP message header, and are processed by the server on receipt of the message.
