OWSM - Part 2

This is part 2 of the OWSM presentation

Supported Standards

The Oracle WebServices Manager (OWSM) supports a lot of different standards concerning security, reliability, adressing and more. Some of the supported standards are:

- SOAP 1.2 (with attachements), MTOM
- WS-Policy 1.2
- WS-MEX (Metadata Exchange)
- WS-Reliable-Messaging 1.0
- WS-Security 1.1 and WS-Security-Policy 1.1
- UDDI
- JAX-WS Policy annotations
- ...

Assertions and Policy attachement

In the OWSM policies are made up of one or multiple assertions. These assertions are applied(used), when the corresponding policy was attached to the reference or service. The assertions are used for both the request and the reply.

Multiple policies can be attached or detached at design-time through JDeveloper context menu and property inspector. At run-time policies can be attached or detached through the Enterprise Manager. In this case a bulk attachment of policies to multiple services or clients is also possible.

Monitoring

OWSM collects a big amount of monitoring data and metrics for services, ports, and operations. You can also see the number of security violations (in case an authentication or an authorization failes). The monitoring data can be accessed with the Enterprise Manger in the corresponding composite (in the service or reference where the policy is attached).
