WSS security - new XWS providers
On latest glassfish or Sun Java System AppServer9 builds, you can observe more default providers in the domain configuration compared to my previous blog entry. This to separate the new providers with old providers supported in previous Sun JavaSystem Appserver 8.1 and maintain the backward compatibility with old developed applications.

These new providers are named as XWS_ServerProvider and XWS_ClientProvider, mainly added the following new features to the earlier providers. 1. By default username token is encrypted. 2. Dynamically determine the encryption key from the request at the server.

At application level, one can use the above providers or configure at server level by default using admin console or CLI.

Enjoy using the Glassfish or Sun Java System Appserver with latest Java EE standards for your applications! Posted by Jagadesh Babu Munta ( Mar 14 2006, 11:43:09 AM PST ) Permalink Comments [1]
