    a web service security manager that attaches one or more security policies to each of the one or more web services in each partition;

    a managed bean server configured to dynamically generate an address for each of the one or more web services in each partition, wherein the managed bean server includes one or more partition-aware managed beans of different scopes, one or more configuration managed beans for generating relative address for web services deployed to a partition, and one or more runtime managed beans for generating context paths for the web services;

    wherein the web service security manager operates tointercept a request originating from a client and targeted to a web service in a particular partition,acquire the one or more security policies attached to the web service on the request from a security information repository in the particular partition,execute the one or more security policies attached to the web service on the request,determine that the one or more security policies attached to the web service on the request execute successfully,invoke the WSIL application in the particular partition to retrieve from the managed bean server the address for the web service,deliver the request to the targeted web service using the retrieved address for the web service,receive a response from the web service,apply appropriate security policies to the response,determine that the appropriate security policies execute successfully, andpass the response to the client.
