WS-Notification Service client settings
Use this page to manage policy sets and bindings or to access additional information for this WS-Notification service client.
To view this page in the console, click the following path:
Services > Service clients > ws-notification_service_client_name
This page shows the policy set and binding configuration information for a single v7.0 WS-Notification service client (that is, a service client using the JAX-WS rather than a JAX-RPC WS-Notification implementation), and also gives you links to the associated service integration bus and WS-Notification service.
The same policy set and binding configuration information can also be viewed and modified through the "Service client.policy sets and bindings" page, which gives an upper-level view of all service clients associated with a particular WS-Notification service. Through the "Service client policy sets and bindings" page, you can assign a policy set or binding to a specific service client, or to all clients for the service.
To view the "Service client.policy sets and bindings" page for a given WS-Notification service, click one of the following paths:
- Service integration > WS-Notification > Services > service_name > [Additional properties] Outbound request policy sets and bindings
- Service integration > Buses > bus_name > [Services] WS-Notification services > service_name > [Additional properties] Outbound request policy sets and bindings

Policy Set Attachments
This section allows you to attach a policy set to the WS-Notification service client. We can complete the attachment by providing system-specific configuration when you assign the appropriate binding.
For more information about the policy set attachment options, see Service client settings.
For WS-Notification service clients, policy set attachments are not supported at the endpoint (port) or operation level. Therefore, endpoints or operations are not selectable, and they are shown as inheriting any policy set or binding that is attached to the service client.
To change what entries are listed, or to change what information is shown for entries in the list, use the Filter settings.
About policy set bindings
In this version of the product there are two types of bindings, application-specific bindings and general bindings.
Application specific binding
We can create application-specific bindings only at a policy set attachment point. These bindings are specific to and constrained to the characteristics of the defined policy. Application specific bindings are capable of providing configuration for advanced policy requirements, such as multiple signatures; however, these bindings are only reusable within an application. Furthermore, application-specific bindings have very limited reuse across policy sets.
When you create an application-specific binding for a policy set attachment, the binding begins in a completely unconfigured state. We must add each policy, such as WS-Security or HTTP transport, that you want to override the default binding and fully configure the bindings for each policy that we have added. For WS-Security policy, some high level configuration attributes such as TokenConsumer, TokenGenerator, SigningInfo, or EncryptionInfo might be obtained from the default bindings if they are not configured in the application-specific bindings.
For service providers, you can only create application-specific bindings by selecting Assign Binding > New Application Specific Binding for service provider resources that have an attached policy set. See service providers policy sets and bindings collection. Similarly, for service clients, you can only create application-specific bindings by selecting Assign Binding > New Application Specific Binding for service client resources that have an attached policy set. See service client.policy set and bindings collection.
General bindings
These bindings can be configured to be used across a range of policy sets and can be reused across applications and for trust service attachments. Though general bindings are highly reusable, they are however not able to provide configuration for advanced policy requirements, such as multiple signatures. There are two types of general bindings:
- General provider policy set bindings
- General client.policy set bindings
We can create general provider policy set bindings by accessing Services > Policy sets > General provider policy set bindings > New in the general provider policy sets panel or by accessing Services > Policy sets > General client.policy set bindings > New in the general client policy set and bindings panel. See Define and managing service client or provider bindings. General provider policy set bindings might also be used for trust service attachments.
Buttons
Attach Client Policy Set View a list of policy sets available for attachment to the selected WS-Notification service client. To attach the policy set to the selected service client, select a policy set from the drop-down list.
To close the list, click Attach Client Policy Set.
Detach Client Policy Set Detach a policy set from a selected WS-Notification service client. After the policy set is detached, if there is no policy set attached at the upper level (that is, at the level of the WS-Notification service), the Attached Client Policy Set column displays None and the Binding column displays Not Applicable. If there is a policy set attached at the level of the WS-Notification service, the Attached Client Policy Set column displays policy_set_name(inherited) for all endpoints and operations. Similarly, for endpoints and operations, the binding name is displayed with (inherited) after it.
Assign Binding Select from a list of available bindings for the selected policy set attachment. All the bindings are listed along with the following options:
- Default
- New Application Specific Binding
For more information about these options, see Service client settings.
To close the drop-down list, click Assign Binding.
