Use WS-Policy to exchange policies in a standard format
WS-Policy is an interoperability standard used to describe and communicate the policies of a web service so that service providers can export policy requirements in a standard format. Clients can combine the service provider requirements with their own capabilities to establish the policies required for a specific interaction. WebSphere Application Server conforms to the WS-Policy specification, so that policy information can be exchanged and received in accordance with the WS-Policy standard.
For more information about using WS-Policy, see the following topics.

A WAS service provider can share its policy configuration in published Web Services Description Language (WSDL), or WSDL that is obtained using an HTTP GET request or the Web Services Metadata Exchange (WS-MetadataExchange) GetMetadata request.- Configure the client policy to use a service provider policy
An application that is a web service client can obtain the policy configuration of a web service provider and use this information to establish a policy configuration that is acceptable to both the client and the service provider.- Configure security for a WS-MetadataExchange request
We can configure message-level security for a Web Services etadata Exchange (WS-MetadataExchange) GetMetadata request by specifying a suitable policy set and binding. You do this when we configure a web service provider to share its policies or a web service client to obtain the policies of a service provider.- WS-Policy
