Create application specific bindings for policy set attachment

Overview

After you attach a policy set to a service artifact such as an application, service, or endpoint, we can define application specific bindings for the attached policy set.

Before we can start this task, deploy an application containing Web services, and attach a policy set.

The application specific binding panels display options based on the definitions in the attached policy set. For example, if the policy set does not have WS-ReliableMessaging configured, then the application specific binding panels do not display an option to configure WS-ReliableMessaging bindings.
