Application Deployer

The application deployer is responsible for:

• Securing the application if it has not been appropriately secured by upstream roles (the developer or assembler) and only if an application-specific policy is appropriate for the application.

• Implementing application-specific security by adding the message security binding to the web service endpoint.

• Modifying Sun-specific deployment descriptors to add message binding information.

These security tasks are discussed in Application-Specific Message Protection. An example application using message security is discussed in Understanding and Running the Example Application.
