What is WS-Policy?
OR
What is Web Services Policy?
Web Services Policy or WS-Policy is an interoperable standard for describing policies that influence communication with the clients. Usually WS-Policy is included in the WSDL contract exposed by the WCF service, although it is optional.
What is the use of WS-Policy?
WS-Policy is generally used for
1. Describing protocols for accessing operations
2. Security
3. Reliable messaging
4. Transactions
5. Message encoding (Message Transmission Optimization Mechanism [MTOM])
6. Other protocols
You can specify the above settings in WSDL directly without a policy section, but the disadvantage is that, once published, the WSDL contract is final. If the clients has to communicate with a WCF service that has changed the settings in the WSDL, the clients need to rebuild the proxy and configuration or atleast the changes to the WSDL contract must support backward compatibility.
The advantage of using WS-Policy is that it can change over time, and the clients can discover the changed policy to communicate via metadata exchange. But keep in mind that, you can only change the policy safely if clients are positioned to handle dynamic changes.
Are WCF Contracts version tolerant?
Yes, WCF contracts are version tolerant by default. Service contracts, data contracts, and message contracts forgive missing and non required data. They also Ignore any superfluous or additional data sent by the client to the service. The DataContractSerializer provides tolerance. Reasonable changes can be made without impacting existing clients.
The following table summarizes the changes to a service contract and impact on existing clients.
