The WS-Policy Editor
The
WS-Policy Editor allows you to edit WS-Policy documents using either a
graphical editor or a plain text editor. Given a Service or a Module,
it will
generate a graphical tree view (Policy Tree) representing the document
along with the plain text (Raw Policy) representation.

Modules page appears.
Click the module for which you want to edit
the policy. A page appears with the module information.

Click the service for which you want to edit
the policy. The Service

policy element. Similarly, when adding an element, you will be prompted
to add data to the attributes relevant to that particular element.
Once you have finished editing
your policy document, click Save Policy.
