WSS4J Handler passes null to MessageContext.setProperty
-------------------------------------------------------
Key: WSS-205
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-205
Project: WSS4J
Issue Type: Bug
Components: WSS4J Handlers
Affects Versions: 1.5.7, 1.5.8
Environment: IBM WebSphere Application Server v6, IBM WebServices
Engine
Reporter: Scott Heaberlin
Assignee: Ruchith Udayanga Fernando
Attachments: wss4jhandler1_5_8_patch_sheaberlin.txt
WSS4JHandler cannot be used in an IBM WebSphere web services engine runtime
because it attempts to set a MessageContext property to null instead of calling
MessageContext.removeProperty(). Doing so raises an exception while using
UsernameToken (perhaps more) functionality with the WebSphere error "WSWS3211E:
Error: Null property value specified."
I was able to track this down in a debugger session to (WSS4J 1.5.7, 1.5.8)
WSS4JHandler, line 314:
mc.setProperty(WSHandlerConstants.SND_SECURITY, null);
As it turns out, the WebSphere implementation of MessageContext is a descendant
of java.util.Hashtable, which does not allow null values.
I will attach a patch (passes all unit tests in the maven2 build) with a
proposed fix, which is to use MessageContext.removeProperty() instead of
setProperty(..., null).
