WebLogic underlying security framework - weblogic

What is the WebLogic's underlying security framework for WS-Security processing.. I know it's using WSS4J underneath - what is the framework they are using WS-SecurityPolicy processing...

The caller was not authenticated by the service when tls1.0 is disabled

using c# i have two aplications
on .net framework 4 - client
and one more on .net framework 4.5 - server
and communicate each other using WCF.
using IISCrypto i turned off tls1.0 and then i get this error
'The caller was not authenticated by the service'
i know that the client will negotiate with the server and take the highest protocol that server provides, so have forcefully change the protocol to the server to
ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = (SecurityProtocolType)3072;
but what happens to client that is framework 4? i tried to change the protocol on the client too but nothing change.
After some search i found the solution..
check
TLS 1.2 not negotiated in .NET 4.7 without explicit ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol call.
Do not disable ServicePointManagerSecurityProtocols
As the say
'Setting Switch.System.ServiceModel.DisableUsingServicePointManagerSecurityProtocols to true limits Windows Communication Framework's (WCF) Transport Layer Security (TLS) connections to using TLS 1.0'
'If your application targets .NET Framework v4.6.2 or earlier and runs on .NET Framework v4.7 or later, set the switch's value to false.'
Just added
<AppContextSwitchOverrides value="Switch.System.ServiceModel.DisableUsingServicePointManagerSecurityProtocols=false" /> to app.config and works like before !

Validating JAX-RS resources and methods (IBM JAX-RS implementation) using bean validation on Websphere Application Server 8.5.5

I am using IBM JAX-RS implementation to develop my REST APIs. I am looking to include validation of resource method parameters using Bean Validation (annotations) support provided in JAX-RS 2.0. I know that Jersey implementation supports this feature (https://jersey.java.net/documentation/latest/bean-validation.html). Is there a similar support available with IBM JAX-RS implementation on WAS 8.5.5? If so could you please direct me to some tutorial on how to accomplish this?
I am specifically looking into enabling and configuring Bean Validation support along with its integration with IBM JAX-RS.
Yes, WebSphere (both traditional and Liberty) will support bean validation with JAX-RS. But I am not aware of any tutorials. The code in the Jersey document that you referenced will work with WebSphere's JAX-RS/BV implementation.
To enable JAX-RS and Bean Validation in Liberty, your server.xml must contain the following features:
<featureManager>
<feature>jaxrs-2.0</feature>
<feature>beanValidation-1.1</feature>
</featureManager>
As an alternative, you could include some feature that includes those features (like webProfile-7.0 or javaee-7.0, but that may get you more function than you want).
Then, if you have your application packaged as an EAR or WAR file, you can copy it into your server's dropins directory, start the server and you should be able to run the example (the default HTTP port is 9080).
This link provides additional information about developing and deploying JAX-RS applications in WebSphere Liberty:

Hope this helps,

Why need worklight adapter instead direct ajax?

I just curious, why we need worklight adapter to communicate with the database? Why not can't using direct ajax? Last time I'm using direct ajax it's not working at all. After I switch to worklight adapter it's running like charm? No problem at all. Why?
You did not provide any specific details about your scenario, like Where is that backend system located, if there is any security involved, what is the topology, etc... so why it's not working with AJAX is impossible to answer.
As for why use Worklight adapters, read:
http://javatechig.com/cross-platform/ibm-worklight/how-to-create-a-http-adapter-in-ibm-worlight
Adapters provide templated (adapter types) connectivity settings to various backend systems - HTTP, SOAP, SQL, JMS and so on
Adapters provide a means to auto-generate an adapter for WSDL and sap web services
Adapters can also be pure Java JAX-RS web apps, allow far greater flexibility and functionality (in MFP 7.0)
You must use Worklight adapters if you intend on using the unified push notifications support
Adapters must be used if you intend to utilize any of the Worklight security features (adapter-based, custom login module, device provisioning, custom provisioning and so on)
and so on

axis2 vs spring-ws vs jersey

My friend asked to explain me what's the difference between Spring, axis2 and Jersey. Here I listed down a few differences that I'm aware of. Please comment/respond if you know more differences
Spring webservices:
A java web application with a servlet configured in
web.xml(org.springframework.ws.transport.http.MessageDispatcherServlet).
You can use spring annotated POJOs for creating web services
Supports both RESTful and SOAP based web services.
Since it’s a web application you can use http authentication mechanisms
for enabling security
Axis2:
The webservice application is a .aar file that will be deployed in
axis2.war
Use AXIOM for using non-primitive type arguments to web service calls
You can use JSR181 annotations to create webservices
You can use spring-dependency injection using axis2 extensions.
Supports both RESTful and SOAP based web services.
I guess you have to use ws-security implementation for
providing security
to your web services>
They claim hot deployment of webservices works but I haven’t seen
it working.
Jersey:
A regular web application with a servlet configured in web.xml.
Write custom message readers/writers for using
non-primitive type arguments to web
service calls
Since it’s a web application you can use http authentication mechanisms
for enabling security
Supports only RESTful implementation of web services
I have seen hot deployment working may be because it’s a web application
and the container can do hot
deployment
I'm not familiar with Jersey and Axis, but I can tell you something about Spring-WS.
You cannot use Spring-WS for restful webservices. Spring-WS is intended to be used for contract first webservices. You can however use the features of Spring 3.x and Spring-MVC for REST services.
As for authorization, you can easily wire in any sort of security (with Spring-Security for instance).
I'm a big fan of the 'automatic' (de) marshalling features of Spring-WS. Just annotate your methods with the correct types and it'll know what to do.

WCF Integration with Legacy Remoting Client

I am facing a problem.
Please explain if this is possible or not.
1) I created a Service Library (.Net 3.5)
2) I created a Windows Service (.Net 3.5), added ServiceHost and implemented my ServiceLibrary to work as a TCP Endpoint.
3) Next I created a Console Client (.Net 3.5) and tried to get data from my TCP Endpoint…(svcutil….proxy.cs generation). Worked absolutely fine.
4) I have a Windows Client(.Net 1.1). How do I configure it to use this new Service? I can't add Proxy.cs as it says that servicemodel cannot be found…
You will need to use a basicHttpBinding, which is backward compatible and can be consumed by a .net 1.1 client. You should be able to find plenty of useful examples on the web: Consuming WCF with .Net 1.1 Basic Binding. For example, this Link describes that binding and usage of Soap 1.1 to make it compatible with .Net 1.1.
For more details on different scenarios and the range of wcf configuration possibilities, try exploring this CodePlex Link, specifically the Application Scenarios section that provides details of different setups. I believe that you will require a basicHttpBinding rather than a netTcpBinding in order to work with legacy protocols. The netTCPBinding would assume that you have .NET 3.0 at both ends. See this MSDN Bindings Link.
