Regression in MessageContext#getEffectivePolicy between 1.3 and 1.4/1.5 -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: AXIS2-4233 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-4233 Project: Axis 2.0 (Axis2) Issue Type: Bug Components: kernel Affects Versions: 1.4, 1.4.1, 1.5 Reporter: Alexis Midon Here is the use case: A security policy is attached to my service (using a service.xml document and a ServiceBuilder). A message comes in, and reaches the RampartReceiver. At this point *only* the targeted service has been resolved by the preceding dispatchers, so no operation nor AxisMessage [4] are attached to the MessageContext yet . Actually the information required to resolve the operation is encrypted. So the MessageContext knows about the service *only*. Then the RampartReceiver tries to get the policy to be applied. This is done in RampartMessageData. To do that, MessageContext#getEffectivePolicy is invoked. In axis2 1.3, MessageContext#getEffectivePolicy [1] has a logic to retrieve the policy from the service instance. But in axis2 1.4 [2], the logic is different and never tries to get the policy from the service. So Rampart cannot do its job, and my service invocation fails :( To get the effective policy, the current implementation of MessageContext#getEffectivePolicy uses an instance of AxisBindingMessage if any. But AxisBindingMessage also requires the operation to be known [5] So I cannot workaround my problem, afaik. It seems that this issue has already been spotted [3] but I haven't found any related Jiras. And the regression is still in 1.5. A fix for axis2 1.5 will be really helpful.
