Application Deployer

The application deployer is responsible for:

• Specifying (at application assembly) any required application-specific message protection policies if such policies have not already been specified by upstream roles (the developer or assembler).

• Modifying Sun-specific deployment descriptors to specify application-specific message protection policies information (message-security-binding elements) to web service endpoint and service references.

These security tasks are discussed in the Chapter 5, Securing Applications, in Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 9 Developer’s Guide Securing Applications chapter of the Developers’ Guide.
