Administering deployed web services applications

You can administer deployed web services applications using the administrative console.

• Administer service providers.
  You can administer your service providers using the following ways:
  • View service providers at the cell level using the administrative console. You can view the details of your service provider, manage the policy sets for the service, its endpoints and operations, and assign bindings for the policy set attachment at the cell level.
  • View service providers at the application level using the administrative console. You can view the details of your service provider, manage the policy sets for the service, its endpoints and operations, and assign bindings for the policy set attachment at the application level.
  • Manage policy sets and bindings for service providers. You can view the details of your service provider, manage the policy sets for the service, its endpoints and operations, and assign bindings for the policy set attachment.
  • Manage policy sets and bindings for service providers at the application level using the administrative console. You can manage policy sets for the provider, its endpoints, and operations, and assign bindings for the policy set attachment at the application level.
  • View WSDL document using the administrative console . You can view the WSDL document for your JAX-WS application.
• Administer service clients.
  You can administer your service clients using the following ways:
  • View service clients at the cell level . Your application server instance can have one or more applications deployed on it that contain service clients. You can view a list of your service clients at the cell level using the administrative console.
  • View service clients at the application level . Your application server instance can have one or more applications deployed on it that contains service clients. You can view the service client names that are referenced in an application.
  • Manage policy sets and bindings for service clients. You can view details of your service client reference, manage the policy sets for the service, its endpoints and operations, and assign bindings for the policy set attachment.
  • Manage policy sets and bindings for service clients at the application level. You can manage policy sets for your service client applications or its service references, endpoints, or operations and assign bindings for the policy set attachment at the application level.
• View the deployment descriptors..
  View the web services server and client deployment descriptors for a deployed web services application. You can view the bindings in the deployment descriptors. The deployment descriptors are required for JAX-RPC web services. You can optionally use the webservices.xml deployment descriptor to augment or override application metadata specified in annotations within your JAX-WS web services.
• Configure the scope of a web service port..(JAX-RPC applications only)
  When a web service application is deployed into WebSphere Application Server, an instance is created for each application or module. The instance contains deployment information for the web module or enterprise bean module, including implementation scope and client bindings information. There are three levels of scope that you can set: application, session and request.
• Suppress the compensation service
  Not all web servers are configured to handle SOAP messages containing CoordinationContext elements. WebSphere Application Server allows you to configure a custom property for the compensation service which processes a predefined list of Enterprise Java Beans for which no CoordinationContext should be sent on web service requests.
