WS-Policy provides a general purpose model and syntax to describe and communicate the policies of a Web service.

The Web Services Policy Framework (WS-Policy) specification defines an abstract model and an XML-based expression grammar for policies. This specification, Web Services Policy Attachment (WS-PolicyAttachment), defines two general-purpose mechanisms for associating such policies with the subjects to which they apply. This specification also defines how these general-purpose mechanisms can be used to associate WS-Policy with WSDL and UDDI descriptions.

The WS-PolicyAttachment specification has been updated to reflect examples from WS-SecurityPolicy and to be consistent with WS-I BP guidelines.

Help: Remove from My dW interests

What's this?

Removing this interest does not alter your profile, but rather removes this piece of content from a list of all content for which you've indicated interest. In a future enhancement to My developerWorks, you'll be able to see a record of that content.
