Title: Message

Hi Samisa, Dinesh, and John,

Thanks for taking on my WS-Security question.

I've got a Linux C++ application that I'm modifying to send web services requests to a Microsoft WS server that is implementing the Web Services Enhancements (WSE) package that includes WS-Security. I have no choice in the server as we are a third party developer that is integrating our product into an existing system (and we're not a Microsoft shop to boot -- so not taking on a MS WS client!). I've had them turn off the security stuff on the dev system we're testing against so I can continue my application dev/testing but the WS-Security obviously needs to be in place for us to go to production.

This is the format of soap messages I am required to support:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>

It sounds like you guys have done alot of good work on this. What are the chances of getting it completed in the near future? Other than me trying to hack something to make it work, do I have any other options?

Thanks again,

So, it doesn't sound like we're that far off - if we just implement the getSOAPBodyAsString() method then we would be able to have ws-security on client-side (at least)?

Re: WS-Security

Hi John,

Let me breif what we tried to do.

When Client make a request , we get the Body from the serializer and Encrypt it again set those encrypted Body to the message. At the server end we got the encrypted message from the deserializer and decrypted it. and get the original message. For the response flow also scenario remains same. We hoped to do it using an handler.

Since there was a method called getBodyAsString(), (as I remember). We creadted DOM tree using that body. ( If we could get Object Model that was easier).

giving soap message as a String I was able to Encrypt it and Giving that Encrypt message I was able to got that original message too.

Since there wasn't a way to get acess to the Body( getSoapBodyAsString () or any other method which can access body didn't implemented at that time). We didn't able to integrate it with axis using a handler.

regards,
Dinesh

Hi Dinesh,

Can I ask - how you wanted that soap body?

Would you need a byte stream or an object model?

Was this client or server side or both?

Was it on the outgoing or incoming message or both?

cheers,
John.

Re: WS-Security

Hi,

Both Sameera and my self had worked on this (WSS4C). We needed to get body of Soap Message through a handler.( from Serilizer). But Unfortunately It was not implemented at that time.( It was commented /* To do */). There were some threads discussing about those methods.

We were unable to get access to the Body of the Soap message through a handler.So we
stopped at that point. ( Until those methods are implemented )

http://wiki.apache.org/ws/WSS4C

I don't know whether some one is working on this Project now.

thanx,
Dinesh

There were some efforts and there were some improvements proposed to the
current engine to help implement WS-Security ,like opening up the SOAP
body in handlers. But we did not hear from anyone on this lately.

Is there anyone working on WS-Sec at the moment?

Thanks,
Samisa...

I apologize if I've missed this in some publication. What is the plan
for Axis C++ support WS-Security? I've got a project that requires the
WSE Username/Password token and I'm trying to determine what options are
available to me.

Thanks, pat
