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.
