Techniques for resolving conflicts between web service policies that are attached (via LPA and/or GPA metadata) to a single policy subject (e.g., a WS client/service endpoint). In one set of embodiments, a determination can be made whether two conflicting policies that are attached to a single policy subject are identical. This determination can be based on, e.g., a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that is used to identify the policies in their respective policy attachment metadata files, as well as any policy configuration properties. If the two conflicting policies are determined to be identical, the policy attachment metadata for one of the policies can be considered valid, while the policy attachment metadata for the other, duplicate policy can be ignored. In this manner, validation errors arising from duplicate policy attachments can be avoided.
