- Exercise 2. Using a WSE 3.0 Policy from a Web Service Client
- Exercise 3. Protecting a Web Service by Using Username Tokens
Module 2: Implementing WSE 3.0 Custom Policy Assertions
- This unit introduces the WSE 3.0 custom policy assertion mechanism. It shows the architecture of the custom policy assertions in WSE 3.0 and how to use custom policy assertions in a Web service.

- Exercise 1. Creating a SOAP Web Service using the TCP Protocol
- Exercise 2. Sending and Receiving SOAP Messages
Module :Implementing SOAP Headers and Extensions
- This unit describes SOAP headers and extensions. It explains what a SOAP header is, and how a Web service processes a SOAP extension.
- What is a SOAP Header?
- What is a SOAP Extension?
- Lab 5: Implementing SOAP Headers and Extensions
- Exercise 1. Implementing a SOAP Header
- Exercise 2. Implementing SOAP Extensions
Module 6:Implementing WSE 3.0 Routing
