Attributes and Elements

Attributes

Attribute Description

uri

Required attribute. Specifies the URL of the Web service to which this policy is being mapped.

Child Elements

Element Description

<operation> Element

Optional element. Specifies the WSDL operation, also known as a Web service method, to which the policy is applied for the specified Web service.

<defaultOperation> Element

Optional element. Specifies the default policy for all operations at the URI specified in the uri attribute.

Parent Elements

Element Description

<mappings> Element

Defines the mappings between policy assertions and endpoints.

Remarks

There can be zero or more <endpoint> elements within the <mappings> Element element. Each <endpoint> element specifies the policy for the <to> element in the WS-Addressing SOAP header. Use the <defaultOperation> Element element to apply a policy to all the WSDL operations for a Web service.

Example

The following code example defines a policy assertion named signed-body-x509 that requires the digital signing of the <Body> element, timestamp header, and all addressing headers by an X509SecurityToken and requires that SOAP messages adhere to the policy assertion if they are sent to the http://www.cohowinery.com/Service1.asmx endpoint.

Note

This code example is designed to demonstrate WSE features and is not intended for production use.
