[jira] Commented: (AXIS2-4435) Applying policy does not engage module

["Detelin Yordanov (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-4435?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12885891#action_12885891 ] 

Detelin Yordanov commented on AXIS2-4435:
-----------------------------------------

It seems that applyPolicy () works only if called on AxisService -> AxisOperation -> AxisMessage level.

Calling this method on AxisEndpoint -> AxisBinding -> AxisBindingOperation -> AxisBindingMessage hierarchy does nothing.
The effective policy will NOT be calcualted and corresponding modules will NOT be engaged :(

One additional flaw of this method is that even if you call it on the former hierarchy, it will engage the modules on AxisMessage.

So for example, if having a policy on one of the Ports / Bindings, calling applyPolicy() on AxisService / AxisOperation / AxisMessage, will engage the modules to the AxisMessage, so they will be engaged for all invokations, even the ones that use different Port / Binding (without any policy) !

I think that's really bad and needs to be fixed, I cannot imagine why nobody else seem to have noticed it.

> The org.apache.axis2.description.AxisDescription JavaDocs say "This method sets the policy as the default of this AxisDescription instance. Further more this method does the followings.
> (1) Engage whatever modules necessary to execute new the effective policy of this AxisDescription instance. (2) Disengage whatever modules that are not necessary to execute the new effective policy of this AxisDescription instance. (3) Check whether each module can execute the new effective policy of this AxisDescription instance. (4) If not throw an AxisFault to notify the user. (5) Else notify each module about the new effective policy."
> This does not appear to work, at least not when WS-SecurityPolicy is used. Even after setting the policy on an AxisOperation (directly, or by way of a client stub generated from a WSDL containing a WS-SecurityPolicy) you still need to call engageModule("rampart") on the ServiceClient - otherwise the policy is ignored.
