Thank you for the interest you are showing in my problem !
I'll quote below WSS4J's official Wiki: "Problems and errors with Signature verification ... Most often this problem occurs if the request message was modified after it was signed. Mostly this is due to some pretty printing where the request message was modified to look nicer. This pretty printing inserts newlines, blanks and tabs. Very often people think that these additional charaters are removed by canonicalization (c14n) of the message. This is a common misunderstanding." http://wiki.apache.org/ws/FrontPage/WsFx/wss4jFAQ Accordingly I think that "canonicalization" won't solve my problem. That's why I was searching how to deactivate the component on server's side That performs this pretty print. I do know that .Net sends the message into one line: <soap:Body wsu:Id="Id-2d57b233-8b17-4ccb-afc5-8bbc6b8f33e7"><Show_Request xmlns="http://box.types.ws.temip.ov.hp.com";><EntitySpec><Natural>BOX a</Natural></EntitySpec></Show_Request></soap:Body> Which is transformed afterward -on server's side- into this form: <soap:Body wsu:Id="Id-2d57b233-8b17-4ccb-afc5-8bbc6b8f33e7"> <Show_Request xmlns="http://box.types.ws.temip.ov.hp.com";> <EntitySpec> <Natural> BOX a </Natural> </EntitySpec> </Show_Request> </soap:Body> NB: the signature is done only on the Body of SOAP Message. __________________ Benjamin BALET Capgemini France http://bbalet.free.fr/ > OK, that's useful to know; thanks.
