View a Proxy Service - Policies page

The View a Proxy Service - Policies page is one in a series of pages for editing proxy services, as described in Creating and Configuring Proxy Services and Editing Proxy Service Configurations.

All policies bound to the service are exposed (inlined) in the effective WSDL regardless of which binding model is used. Abstract policies are pre-processed before they are inlined.

Use this page to configure policy settings for a proxy service that has a WSDL-based policy or that uses custom policy bindings. Table 17-17 describes how to use the page.

Service Policy Configuration
There are two options in the Service Policy Configuration field:
  • WSDL-Based Policy, in which one or more Web Services Policy (WS-Policy) statements in a WSDL document express the proxy service's message-level security requirements.
  • Custom Policy Bindings, in which you add service-level policies, operation-level policies (in which case the policy applies to both the request and response messages), request policies, and response policies from the console.
Note: The two policy binding models are mutually exclusive. If you bind policies directly to the service, all WSDL-based policies are ignored.
Service Level Policies
(Custom Policy Bindings Only)
To specify policies that apply to the entire service, expand the service name entry. Click Add to search for and select your policies.
You can select from your own existing WS-Policy resources, or from predefined policies.
You can bind multiple policies to the service.
Update the policy binding.
Operation Level Policies
(WSDL-Based Policy Only)
Provides a read-only view of the request and response policies from the WSDL.
Operation Level Policies
(Custom Policy Bindings Only)
To specify policies that apply to an operation or the request/response of that operation, expand the operation name entry. Click Add to search for and select your policies.
You can select from your own existing WS-Policy resources, or from predefined policies.
You can bind multiple policies to the service.
Update the policy binding.
