Hi, Currently CXF supports only limited set of references for external WS-PolicyAttachments (wsa:EndpointReferenceType):
<attachments xmlns:wsp="http://www.w3.org/ns/ws-policy" xmlns:test="http://x.y.z/Assertions"> <wsp:PolicyAttachment> <wsp:AppliesTo> <wsa:EndpointReferenceType xmlns:wsa="http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing"> <wsa:Address>http://x.y.z/GreeterPort</wsa:Address> </wsa:EndpointReferenceType> </wsp:AppliesTo> <wsp:Policy> <test:A>A</test:A> </wsp:Policy> </wsp:PolicyAttachment> </attachments> I propose to extend that to support at least some URI Domain Expression for wsdl11: wsdl11.definitions() wsdl11.service(service) wsdl11.binding(binding) wsdl11.bindingOperation(binding/operation) wsdl11.bindingOperation.input(binding/operation) wsdl11.bindingOperation.output(binding/operation) wsdl11.bindingOperation.fault(binding/operation/fault) I see that some work was started in cxf-rt-ws-policy Wsdl11XPointerDomainExpression class, but it seems that is not complete. Partly it is also implemented in systests org.apache.cxf.systest.ws.policy.UriDomainExpression and org.apache.cxf.systest.ws.policy.UriDomainExpressionBuilder I would create Jira and add support for wsdl11 references. Any suggestions / objections? Regards, Andrei.
