Abstract

A computer-controlled method of registering an application can include indicating a type of platform, providing information about the application, registering at least one port hosted by the application, and saving the application configuration.

Claims

1. A computer-controlled method of registering an application, comprising:

indicating a type of platform;

providing information about the application;

registering at least one port hosted by the application; and

saving the application configuration.

2. The computer-controlled method of claim 1, wherein the type of platform is WebSphere.

3. The computer-controlled method of claim 1, wherein the information about the application comprises at least one of a group consisting of the following:

name, description, cell name, and servers.

4. The computer-controlled method of claim 1, wherein registering the at least one port comprises a module name and associated WSDL file.

5. The computer-controlled method of claim 1, wherein registering the at least one port comprises providing a module name, service name or client name, and port name.

6. The computer-controlled method of claim 1, further comprising attaching a policy to the registered application.

7. The computer-controlled method of claim 6, wherein attaching the policy to the registered application comprises navigating to the desired application within an enterprise or searching for the registered application by application name.

8. The computer-controlled method of claim 7, wherein attaching the policy to the registered application further comprises navigating to the desired client port or service port, or searching for the port by port type, port name, or both.

9. The computer-controlled method of claim 8, wherein attaching the policy to the registered application further comprises selecting at least one policy to be attached to the port.

10. The computer-controlled method of claim 9, wherein attaching the policy to the registered application further comprises validating the policy subject.

11. The computer-controlled method of claim 10, further comprising saving the application configuration.

12. The computer-controlled method of claim 6, further comprising detaching the policy from the registered application.

13. The computer-controlled method of claim 12, wherein detaching the policy from the registered application comprises navigating to the desired application within an enterprise or searching for the registered application by application name.

14. The computer-controlled method of claim 13, wherein detaching the policy from the registered application further comprises navigating to the desired client port or service port, or searching for the port by port type, port name, or both.

15. The computer-controlled method of claim 14, wherein detaching the policy from the registered application further comprises selecting at least one policy to be detached from the port.

16. The computer-controlled method of claim 15, further comprising saving the application configuration.

17. The computer-controlled method of claim 1, further comprising storing the registered application as a document within a WSM metadata repository.
