Oracle Web Services Manager (OWSM) provides a policy framework to manage and secure web services consistently across your organization.
For details about OWSM, see Understanding Oracle Web Services Manager.
OWSM can be used by both developers, at design time, and system administrators in production environments:
Application developers use Oracle JDeveloper to leverage the security and management features of the OWSM policy framework. For more information, see "Developing and Securing Web Services" in Developing Applications with Oracle JDeveloper.
System administrators can leverage OWSM post-deployment using Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control or the command line interface WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST).
Details for using OWSM, including the predefined policies and assertions, to secure the web services in your environment are described throughout this document.
For definitions of unfamiliar terms found in this and other books, see the Glossary.
Know more about the types and categories of Oracle web services you can secure using the OWSM framework.
The types and categories of Oracle web services are listed in Table 1-1. For more information about the web service categories and the types of web services and clients, see "Overview of Web Services in Oracle Fusion Middleware 12c" in Understanding Web Services.
