Using UnManaged Web Services Client with WS-Policy

[Sean Hetfield]

Does anyone have any information or reference about How to use the WS-Policy with UnManaged Web Services Client?

Thanks

Hi!
Do you mean configuring a web service client to use the policy provided by the service provider dynamically at runtime?

[Sean Hetfield]

Yes. That's correct.

If it's Managed Web Service Client using WebSphere Application Server, I know how to configure it.

But if the client is UnManaged, I'm not sure how to proceed.

Thanks

Ah, I think I get it - you want a standalone client, not one that runs in a WebSphere application server, to configure itself according to WS-Policy provided by the web service.
It turns out that I have actually done this using the following libraries from Metro:
• webservices-api.jar
• webservices-extra-api.jar
• webservices-extra.jar
• webservices-rt.jar
• webservices-tools.jar

You can find them at: https://metro.dev.java.net/

Drop them in and they automagically take care of applying WS-Policy of the server on the (standalone) client side.
Best wishes!
