1.2 Roadmap for Web Service Administration Tasks

Table 1-1 defines the tools that system administrators can use to secure and administer web services. For information about how to access these administration tools, see Accessing the Administration Tools.

Table 1-1 Tools Used for Web Service Administration Tasks

Use this tool...	To perform the following tasks...
Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control	Deploy web service applications. View and configure RESTful and Oracle Infrastructure web services and clients. View Java EE (WebLogic) web services and clients. Secure Java EE, RESTful, and Oracle Infrastructure web services with OWSM policies. For more information about securing web services using OWSM, see Securing Web Services and Managing Policies with Oracle Web Services Manager. Test web services. Monitor the run-time performance and audit web services. Manage diagnostic and message logs. Register web services and sources, and publish registered web services. Note: Only a subset of OWSM policies are supported for Java EE web services, as described in "Which OWSM Policies are Supported for Java EE Web Services" in Securing Web Services and Managing Policies with Oracle Web Services Manager. Only a subset of OWSM policies are supported for RESTful web services, as described in "Which OWSM Policies are Supported for RESTful Web Services" in Securing Web Services and Managing Policies with Oracle Web Services Manager. Security and administration of JAX-RPC WebLogic web services is not supported.
WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST)	View and configure Oracle Infrastructure web services and clients. View Java EE web services and clients. Secure Oracle Infrastructure web services and Java EE web services with OWSM policies. For more information about securing web services using OWSM, see Securing Web Services and Managing Policies with Oracle Web Services Manager. Manage application migration between environments, such as from test to production.
Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console	Secure and manage Java EE web services. For more information about using the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console to secure and administer Java EE web services, see "Web Services" in the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console Online Help. Note: If available, Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control is the preferred graphical user interface (GUI) tool for securing and managing Java EE web services.
