The chapter provides reference information about web service MakeConnection policy assertions in a WS-Policy file for WebLogic Server 12.1.3.
This chapter includes the following sections:
Overview of a WS-Policy File That Contains MakeConnection Assertions
Example of a WS-Policy File With MakeConnection and WS-Policy 1.5
Note:
This section applies only to JAX-WS web services, and not to JAX-RPC web services.You use WS-Policy files to enable and configure MakeConnection on a web service. Use the @Policy JWS annotations in the JWS file that implements the web service to specify the name of the WS-Policy file that is associated with a web service. A WS-Policy file is an XML file that conforms to the WS-Policy specification at http://www.w3.org/TR/ws-policy/.
The root element of a WS-Policy file is always <wsp:Policy>. To configure web service MakeConnection, you simply add a <wsmc:MCSupported> child element. The policy assertions conform to the WS-PolicyAssertions specification.
WebLogic Server includes default WS-Policy files that contain typical MakeConnection assertions that you can use if you do not want to create your own WS-Policy file. The default WS-Policy files are defined in "Pre-Packaged WS-Policy Files for Web Services Reliable Messaging and MakeConnection" in Developing JAX-WS Web Services for Oracle WebLogic Server.
For task-oriented information about enabling and configuring MakeConnection, see "Using Asynchronous Web Service Clients Through a Firewall (MakeConnection)" in Developing JAX-WS Web Services for Oracle WebLogic Server.
The following sections describe how to create a WS-Policy file with web service MakeConnection assertions that are based on WS-MakeConnection specification at http://docs.oasis-open.org/ws-rx/wsmc/200702.
The following example shows a simple WS-Policy file used to configure MakeConnection for a WebLogic web service. It specifies support for WS-Policy 1.5.
<?xml version="1.0"?> <wsp15:Policy xmlns:wsp15="http://www.w3.org/ns/ws-policy" xmlns:wsmc="http://docs.oasis-open.org/ws-rx/wsmc/200702"> <wsmc:MCSupported wsp15:Optional="true" /> </wsp15:Policy>
The element hierarchy of web service MakeConnection policy assertions in a WS-Policy file is shown below. Each element is described in more detail in the following sections.
wsp:Policy wsmc:MCSupported
Groups nested policy assertions.
The presence of this assertion in a WS-Policy file indicates that the corresponding web service uses MakeConnection as the transport model.
The following table summarizes the attributes of the wsmc:MCSupport element.
Table 5-1 Attributes of <wsmc:MCSupport>
| Attribute | Description | Required? |
|---|---|---|

|
Specifies whether MakeConnection must be used by the web service client. Valid values for this attribute are |
