Advanced web service features are enabled and configured using a mechanism defined by the Web Services Policy Framework (WS-Policy) specification. A web service expresses its requirements and capabilities via policies embedded in the service's WSDL description. A service consumer verifies it can handle the expressed requirements and, optionally, uses server capabilities advertised in policies.
Technologies like Reliable Messaging, Addressing, or Secure Conversations, provides a set of policy assertions it can process. Those assertions provide the necessary configuration details to the Metro run-time to enable proper operation of these features used by a given web service. The assertions may specify particular configuration settings or rely on default settings that are pre-determined by the specific technology. For instance, in the snippet shown below, wsrm:AcknowledgementInterval and wsrm:InactivityTimeout are both optional and could be omitted. The following is an XML snippet showing WS-Policy assertions for WS-Addressing and WS-Reliable Messaging:
<wsp:Policy wsu:Id="AddNumbers_policy"> <wsp:ExactlyOne> <wsp:All> <wsaw:UsingAddressing/> <wsrm:RMAssertion> <wsrm:InactivityTimeout Milliseconds="600000"/> <wsrm:AcknowledgementInterval Milliseconds="200"/> </wsrm:RMAssertion> </wsp:All> </wsp:ExactlyOne> </wsp:Policy>This snippet would be equally valid in either a WSIT configuration file or a web service's WSDL document.
