What is PEP Proxy?

PEP Proxy is a library providing general Proxy functionality consisting of a Request/Response filter implemenation and a PEP Service Plug.

The Proxy Service acts as transparent proxy to non-security enabled web services and provides in conjunction with a Generic Policy Enforcement Service non-intrusive web service security for SOAP web services. It enables both security-enabled and non-security-enabled clients to access a proxied web service via the same interface.

Each instance of a Proxy Service is specific to a proxied service which means that the interface of the Proxy Service is identical to that of a proxied service. Therefore the Interface Specification of the Proxy Interface cannot define any operations but will be generated automatically for each service type that has to be access controlled.
