[AXIS2] Error extracting the policies from the Fault Messages

[Nandana Mihindukulasooriya <na...@gmail.com>]

Hi,
   When we get the effective policy from a message, it tries to calculate
the effective policy as given below.

        AxisBindingMessage bindingMessage =
            (AxisBindingMessage)
getProperty(Constants.AXIS_BINDING_MESSAGE);

        if (bindingMessage != null) {
            return bindingMessage.getEffectivePolicy();
        } else {
            if (axisMessage != null) {
                return axisMessage.getEffectivePolicy();
            } else {
                return null;
            }
        }

But in Faults, axisMessage is not set in the MessageContext. Because of
this, we didn't get the correct policies from Message Context. This causes
problems in Rampart when trying to secure fault messages.  Is there a way to
retrieve the effective policy from the MessageContext when we are
sending/receiving faults ?


thanks,

As I saw here the problem is that there is no AxisMessage for Faults. Axis
Operations has only in/out messages.
So faultMessageContext does not have a axisMessage.

When creating the AxisService with the WSDL11ToAxisServiceBuilder it adds
the fault messages to the AxisOperation as a list. For such services we can
pick the fault messages from there.

But for the services created using Service.xml there is no way to give this
fault messages. For such operations only possibility is to use the axis out
message for that operation.

So I locally set the out message and tested. It could encrypt the out fault
message but there was a problem
at the client side due to this problem.
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-3561

this could be solved by changing the security and addressing phases.

thanks,
Amila.
