-----------------------------------

             Summary: CXF web service cannot process MTOM/XOP-optimized content 
within a CipherValue element
                 Key: CXF-6409
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-6409
             Project: CXF
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: WS-* Components
            Reporter: Dallas Vaughan


When a CXF (WS-Security streaming-enabled) web service endpoint is configured 
to use WS-Security and MTOM, CXF cannot handle requests from .NET and Metro 
clients because it cannot process {{xop:Include}} elements that are children of 
{{enc:CipherValue}} elements, as both of these clients will optimize any large 
encrypted (base64-encoded binary) content by serializing it as a MIME part.

For example, when a Metro MTOM-optimized WS-Security-based request is sent to a 
CXF endpoint, the following exception is thrown within 
{{org.apache.xml.security.stax.impl.processor.input.AbstractDecryptInputProcessor$DecryptionThread.run()}}:

{code}org.apache.xml.security.exceptions.XMLSecurityException: Unexpected 
StAX-Event: START_ELEMENT{code}

This makes it impossible for .NET and Metro clients to communicate with CXF 
endpoints which have the MTOM and encryption policies specified.
