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

             Summary: Policy exception handler throws away useful exception stack trace
                 Key: CXF-5317
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-5317
             Project: CXF
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: WS-* Components
    Affects Versions: 2.7.7, 2.7.6
            Reporter: Jesse Pangburn


I had a working WS-Policy which was encrypting the SOAP body with a UsernameToken using Basic128 encryption, then I modified the policy to use Basic256 encryption instead.  I got the following stack trace cause:
Caused by: org.apache.cxf.ws.policy.PolicyException: Cannot encrypt data
	at org.apache.cxf.ws.security.wss4j.policyhandlers.AbstractBindingBuilder.policyNotAsserted(AbstractBindingBuilder.java:294)

Since the exception was short on detail, I went to the source code and found that AbstractBindingBuilder.java:294 was simply throwing away the rest of the Exception object.  There's a method existing already to take the exception too so I changed that line to call it and now get the following MUCH more useful error message on the end of the stack trace:
Caused by: org.apache.xml.security.encryption.XMLEncryptionException: Invalid AES key length: 20 bytes
Original Exception was java.security.InvalidKeyException: Invalid AES key length: 20 bytes

I'll attach a patch to this issue to resolve this.
