Audience

This guide targets the needs of anyone who is responsible for deploying Web services management solutions. If you do not have Oracle WSM installed, see Oracle Web Services Manager Installation Guide.

This document assumes that you are familiar with networking concepts.

Documentation Accessibility

Our goal is to make Oracle products, services, and supporting documentation accessible, with good usability, to the disabled community. To that end, our documentation includes features that make information available to users of assistive technology. This documentation is available in HTML format, and contains markup to facilitate access by the disabled community. Accessibility standards will continue to evolve over time, and Oracle is actively engaged with other market-leading technology vendors to address technical obstacles so that our documentation can be accessible to all of our customers.

Accessibility of Code Examples in Documentation

Screen readers may not always correctly read the code examples in this document. The conventions for writing code require that closing braces should appear on an otherwise empty line; however, some screen readers may not always read a line of text that consists solely of a bracket or brace.

Accessibility of Links to External Web Sites in Documentation

This documentation may contain links to Web sites of other companies or organizations that Oracle does not own or control. Oracle neither evaluates nor makes any representations regarding the accessibility of these Web sites.

TTY Access to Oracle Support Services

Oracle provides dedicated Text Telephone (TTY) access to Oracle Support Services within the United States of America 24 hours a day, seven days a week. For TTY support, call 800.446.2398.

How to Use This Guide

Use the Oracle Web Services Manager Deployment Guide for specific information on configuring and deploying the Oracle WSM components. This guide also covers securing Oracle WSM components over Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), integrating Oracle WSM with Oracle Access Manager, and configuring Oracle WSM in a clustered environment.

The Oracle Application Server Enterprise Deployment Guide describes how to distribute and deploy Services Oriented Architecture (SOA) components, including Oracle WSM, in an enterprise topology. The Oracle Application Server Enterprise Deployment Guide shows how Oracle WSM fits into an enterprise topology. However, the details of how to configure and deploy Oracle WSM components are found in Oracle Web Services Manager Deployment Guide.
