Overview
|
|
The Preferences dialog enables you to configure a range of options for the
Policy Studio. For example, you can configure the level at which the Policy Studio traces diagnostic
output, customize the look-and-feel of the Policy Studio, or configure the timeout for the
Policy Studio connection to the Enterprise Gateway. Each of the available settings are discussed
in the following sections.
|
Management Services
|
|
The Enterprise Gateway exposes certain interfaces that are purely used for management purposes only,
and should only be edited under strict advice from the Oracle Support team. By default,
the Management Services policies and interfaces, and the Policy Center
interfaces and server process are hidden from view in the Policy Studio. You can display them
by selecting the Show Management Services checkbox.
When this setting is enabled, you can view the Management Services
policy container in the Policies tree. Similarly, the Management
Services HTTP interfaces are displayed under the Server Process in the
Services tree. If you are running Policy Center, the Policy Center
Service is displayed in the Services tree. The Policy Center Server
Process is also displayed on the Oracle Enterprise Gateway Dashboard tab.
For more details, see the
Management Services section in the Configuring
HTTP Services topic.
Important Note:
As stated earlier, you should only modify Management Services under
strict advice and supervision from the Oracle Support team.
|
Policy Colors
|
|
The Policy Colors settings enable you to customize the
look-and-feel of the Policy Canvas in the Policy Studio. For example, you
can change the colors of the following components:
-
Policy Background:
Changes the background color of the Policy Canvas.
-
Missing Attribute:
You can right-click the Policy Canvas, and select Show All
Attributes from the context menu. When this is selected,
each filter displays the list of required and generated message attributes
that are relevant for that filter. If a required attribute has not been
generated by a previous filter in the policy, the attribute is highlighted
in a different color (red by default). You can change this color by selecting
an appropriate color using this setting.
-
Success Path:
You can change the color of the Success Path link using this
setting.
-
Failure Path:
Similarly, you can change the color of the Failure Path link here.
-
Show Link Labels:
If this option is selected, a Success Path is labeled with the
letter S, while a Failure Path is labeled F.
|
Proxy Settings
|
|
You can specify global proxy settings that apply only when downloading WSDL, XSD,
and XSLT files from the Policy Studio. These include the following settings:
| Proxy Setting |
Description |
| Host |
Host name or IP address of the proxy server.
|
| Port |
Port number on which to connect to the proxy server.
|
| Username |
Optional user name when connecting to the proxy server.
|
| Password |
Optional password when connecting to the proxy server.
|
You can also specify individual proxy servers on the External Connections
tab. These are different from the global proxy settings in the Preferences
because you can specify these proxy servers at the filter level (in the Connection
and Connect To URL filters). For more details, see the
Proxy Servers topic.
|
Runtime Dependencies
|
|
The Runtime Dependencies setting enables you to add JAR files to the
Policy Studio classpath. For example, if you write a custom message filter, you must add
its JAR file, and any third-party JAR files that it uses, to the Runtime
Dependencies list.
Click Add to select a JAR file to add to the list of dependencies,
and click Apply when finished. A copy of the JAR file is added to the
plugins directory in your Policy Studio installation.
Important Note:
You must restart the Policy Studio and the server for these changes to take effect.
|
Server Connection
|
|
When an update is made to a configuration setting in the Policy Studio,
the update is stored locally until you deploy it to the Enterprise Gateway.
After making one or more configuration updates, you can deploy to the
Enterprise Gateway by selecting Settings -> Deploy in the
main menu. Alternatively, you can click the Deploy
button in the toolbar, or press F6.
The updated configuration is then pushed to the Enterprise Gateway, which
finishes processing any current messages before flushing its cached
policy configurations. The new configuration is then stored and
loaded. Any subsequent messages received by the Enterprise Gateway then
use the new configuration.
When deploying to the Enterprise Gateway, the Policy Studio sends a deployment request
to the server. If necessary, you can configure the socket timeout value for this
connection in the Policy Studio Preferences dialog. Enter the
timeout value in milliseconds in the Server Socket Connection Timeout
field.
|
Trace Level
|
|
You can set the level at which the Policy Studio logs diagnostic output by selecting the
appropriate level from the Tracing Level drop-down list. Diagnostic output
is written to a file in the /logs directory of your Policy Studio
installation. You can also select Window -> Show View
-> Console in the main menu to view the trace output in the
Console window at the bottom of the screen. The default trace level
is INFO.
|
Web and XML
|
|
The Web and XML settings enable you to configure a range of
options that affect how XML files are treated in the Policy Studio.
XML Files
This includes the following options:
| Creating or saving files |
Specifies a line delimiter (for example, Mac,
Unix, Windows, or No translation).
|
| Creating files |
Specifies a file suffix (xml), and the type of encoding
(for example, ISO 10646/Unicode(UTF-8)).
|
| Validating files |
Configures whether to warn when no grammar is specified.
|
Source
This includes the following options:
| Formatting |
Specifies a range of formatting options (for example, line width, line breaks,
and indentation).
|
| Content assist |
Specifies whether to make suggestions and which strategy to use (for example,
Lax or Strict).
|
| Grammar constraints |
Specifies whether to use inferred grammar in the absence of DTD/Schema.
|
Syntax Coloring
These settings enable you to associate specific colors with specific XML syntax elements
(for example, attribute names, comment delimiters, or processing instruction content).
|
WS-I Settings
|
|
Before importing a WSDL file that contains the definition of a Web Service
into the Web Services Repository, you can test the WSDL file for compliance
with the Web Service Interoperability (WS-I) Basic Profile. The WS-I
Basic Profile contains a number of Test Assertions
that describe rules for writing WSDL files for maximum interoperability
with other WSDL authors, consumers, and other related tools.
The WS-I Settings are described as follows:
| WS-I Setting |
Description |
| WS-I Tool Location |
Use the Browse button to specify the full path to
the Java version of the WS-Interoperability Testing tools (for example,
C:\Program Files\WSI_Test_Java_Final_1.1\wsi-test-tools).
The WS-I testing tools are used to check a WSDL file for WS-I compliance. You
can download them from www.ws-i.org.
|
| Results Type |
Select the type of WS-I test results that you wish to view in the generated
report from the drop-down list. You can select from all,
onlyFailed, notPassed, or notInfo.
|
| Message Entry |
Specify whether message entries should be included in the
report using the checkbox (selected by default).
|
| Failure Message |
Specify whether the failure message defined for each test
assertion should be included in the report using the checkbox
(selected by default).
|
| Assertion Description |
Specify whether the description of each test assertion should be
included in the report using the checkbox (unselected by default).
|
| Verbose Output |
Specify whether verbose output is displayed in the Policy Studio console
window using the checkbox (unselected by default). To view the console
window, select Window -> Show Console
from the Policy Studio main menu.
|
For details on running the WS-I Testing Tools, see the
Web Service Repository or
Global Schema Cache topics.
