> I would first like to point out that this is not exactly a bug, but it's not a new feature or improvement either. When policies are involved (such as security policies) , the Axis2 WSDL generation (when one generates the wsdl using ?wsdl on the axis servlet) puts the policies directly in the <binding> element of the WSDL. Competing stacks such as WCF and JAX-WS/WSIT both insert the policies as <PolicyReference> elements. The problem is that these two frameworks cannot cope with policies that are not put in the WSDL in this manner, i.e. as policy references. There is no concrete spec that dictates how PolicyAttachment is done in the WSDL (most if the words in the spec are MAY, SHOULD or RECOMMEND). Therefore, neither axis2 breaks the rules, nor WCF and JAX-WS. But in order for Axis2 to be interoperable and gain more popularity where WS-SecurityPolicy (for example) is concerned, I think Axis2 should change its way of generating WSDLs with policies in them. 
> Thanks for your feedback in advance.
