You use policy sets to configure v7.0 WS-Notification services with web service qualities of service (QoS) such as reliability or security. The configuration of policy sets for WS-Notification can be split into two types: service provider (for v7.0 WS-Notification service points) and service client (for v7.0 WS-Notification service clients). Policy set configuration for these two elements of a WS-Notification service is handled differently.
v7.0 WS-Notification service points (NotificationBrokers, PublisherRegistrationManagers and SubscriptionManagers) are implemented as JAX-WS applications deployed to servers or clusters, and the management of the policy sets for these WS-Notification service points is configured using the policy set administrative infrastructure for service providers (both panels and wsadmin commands). In the Service provider [settings] panel for a WS-Notification service provider, there is a link to the associated WS-Notification service point application. We can use the service provider settings panel to attach policy sets to each NotificationBroker, PublisherRegistrationManager and SubscriptionManager. To compose with WS-ReliableMessaging, you attach policy sets that include the WS-ReliableMessaging policy type.
v7.0 WS-Notification services are implemented as two configurable service clients (OutboundNotificationService and OutboundRemotePublisherService) for each WS-Notification service. Events that need outgoing web service invocations occur at the service integration bus level rather than the bus member level, even though notifications of the events occur within a particular bus member. The two service clients that a WS-Notification service implements are therefore configured using the policy set administrative infrastructure for service clients. In the Service client policy sets and bindings [collection] panel, the two service clients for a given WS-Notification service are listed in a tree structure, along with their endpoints and operations. We can use this panel to attach policy sets to each service client, or to both service clients for the WS-Notification service. Alternatively, we can configure the policy set and binding information for a single Version 7.0 WS-Notification service client application using the WS-Notification service client [settings] panel. This panel also provides links to the associated service integration bus and WS-Notification service.For more general information about working with policy sets and bindings, see Manage policy sets . To apply policy sets to a v7.0 WS-Notification service, see Configure a v7.0 WS-Notification service with Web service QoS. To compose with WS-ReliableMessaging, you attach policy sets that include the WS-ReliableMessaging policy type.
