EBWS fails to handle WS-Security header with soap:mustUnderstand="1" in SOA-P with CXF
Issue
- After switching the WS stack to CXF, EBWS throws SOAP Faults when it receives SOAP requests with the WS-Security
UsernameTokenheader which is declared along withsoap:mustUnderstand="1". - I have set up
<security moduleName="..."/>for the EBWS injboss-esb.xmlto enable WS-Security. - I used the following SOAP request:
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:say="http://www.jboss.org/sayHi" xmlns:cust="http://www.jboss.org/custom-request" xmlns:sub="http://www.jboss.org/custom-subtype" xmlns:t="http://www.jboss.org/type2">
<soap:Header>
<wsse:Security soap:mustUnderstand="1" xmlns:wsse="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd">
<wsse:UsernameToken>
<wsse:Username>kermit</wsse:Username>
<wsse:Password>thefrog</wsse:Password>
</wsse:UsernameToken>
</wsse:Security>
</soap:Header>
<soap:Body>
...
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
- And got the following SOAP Fault:
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Header>
<wsse:Security soap:mustUnderstand="1" xmlns:wsse="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd"/>
</soap:Header>
<soap:Body>
<soap:Fault>
<faultcode>soap:MustUnderstand</faultcode>
<faultstring>MustUnderstand headers: [{http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd}Security] are not understood.</faultstring>
</soap:Fault>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
- I also got the following error stacktrace:
WARNING [PhaseInterceptorChain] Interceptor for {http://soa.jboss.org/ESBServiceSample}HelloWorldPubServiceService#{http://soa.jboss.org/ESBServiceSample}HelloWorldPubServiceOp has thrown exception, unwinding now
org.apache.cxf.binding.soap.SoapFault: MustUnderstand headers: [{http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd}Security] are not understood.
