WS-Policy/Neethi interop with wse2, wse3?

[Dave MacLean <Da...@businessobjects.com>]

Hello there,
I'm using Axis 2.0 for my soap engine, and I'll be implementing limited
WS-* support that will need to include WS-Policy.  I know Neethi more or
less supports the latest WS-Policy framework specification.  I'm
wondering if anyone has tried to interoperate the policies Neethi
outputs with a WSE2 or WSE3 consumer.  Is this in any way even possible?
I've read that WSE3 actually modified their policy structure so that it
may not even be standard compliant (though it sounds like WCF might fix
this?...), but it sounds like WSE2 supports WS-Policy in at least some
limited way.

Does anyone have any comments or suggestions on getting policies to
interop between a java provider (running on axis2) and a .net consumer?
Is this a pipe dream at this stage in the game (and likely until the
standard actually becomes a recommendation sometime next year)?


Thanks in advance,

Dave

If you are talking about consuming a serialized policies which Neethi
outputs,
there should not be any issues provided that WSE2 adhere the latest
WS-Policy specification.

It should work if you are talking about manipulating the policies at a
higher level.
For instance checking whether the merge of policies P1 and P2 produce
the same result by
neethi and by .net consumer should succeed.

If you are talking about whether two services based on the same
WSSecurityPolicy, deployed
in those platform can interoperate, then the answer is that it depends
on the depth of policy
implementation baked into those platform.

As far as I can tell, WS-Policy is still maturing and it will take
sometime before we see
full WS-Policy support.
