General sample bindings for JAX-WS applications

We can use sample bindings with the dmgr console for testing purposes.

WebSphere Application Server v7.0 and later includes provider and client sample bindings for testing purposes. In the bindings, the product provides sample values for supporting tokens for different token types, such as the X.509 token, the username token, the LTPA token, and the Kerberos token. The bindings also include sample values for message protection information for token types such as X.509 and secure conversation. Both provider and client sample bindings can be applied to the applications attached with a system policy set, or application policy set, from the default local repository.

This information describes the general sample bindings for the JAX-WS programming model. We can develop web services using the JAX-RPC programming model, or for WAS v7.0 and later, using JAX-WS. Sample general bindings may differ depending on which programming model we use. The following sections, describing various general sample bindings, are provided:

Best practice: IBM WAS supports the JAX-WS programming model and the (JAX-RPC) programming model. JAX-WS is the next generation web services programming model extending the foundation provided by the JAX-RPC programming model. Using the strategic JAX-WS programming model, development of web services and clients is simplified through support of a standards-based annotations model. Although the JAX-RPC programming model and applications are still supported, take advantage of the easy-to-implement JAX-WS programming model to develop new web services applications and clients. best-practices

Do not use these provider and client sample bindings in their default state in a production environment. You must modify the bindings to meet your security needs before using them in a production environment by making a copy of the bindings and then modifying the copy. For example, you must change the key and keystore settings to ensure security, and modify the binding settings to match the environment.

One set of general default bindings is shared by the applications to make application deployment easier. The default binding information for the server level can be overridden by the binding information on the application level. WAS v8.5 searches for binding information for an application on the application level before searching the server level.


General client sample bindings


Client sample bindings V2

Two new general sample bindings, Client sample V2, and Provider sample V2, have been added to the product. While many of the configurations are the same as previous versions of the client sample and provider sample bindings, there are several additional, new sample configurations. To use these new bindings, create a new profile after installing the product. For more information, read the topic Configuring Kerberos policy sets and V2 general sample bindings.


General provider sample bindings


Provider sample bindings V2

Two new general sample bindings, Client sample V2, and Provider sample V2, have been added to the product. While many of the configurations are the same as previous versions of the client sample and provider sample bindings, there are several additional, new sample configurations. To use these new bindings, create a new profile after installing the product. For more information, read the topic Configuring Kerberos policy sets and V2 general sample bindings.
