Hi.

I have a problem with Axis 1.4 regarding namespace rewriting and WS-Security.

I call a BEA ALSB Proxy Service that signs the response message. The response 
message includes WS-Addressing elements, using the namespace prefix "wsa", and 
they are included in the signature.
If I verify the signature using WSS4J directly (no Axis is involved) everything 
is fine. However, if I use WSS4J with Axis, the signature references to the 
WS-Adressing elements results in "Verification failed" (as seen in the WSS4J 
log). All other references in the signature results in "Verification 
successful". The difference in the two scenarios are that Axis seems to rewrite 
the "wsa" prefix to "ns1", "ns2" and so on for each WS-Addressing element. This 
obviously would cause the signature to become invalid. The funny thing is that 
only WS-Addressing elements are rewritten.

Below are snippets from the response in the two scenarios.

Is there anything I can do to avoid this problem other than changing the policy 
file on the ALSB to not include WS-Addressing in the signature?`
I have already inserted
<parameter name="enableNamespacePrefixOptimization"
           value="false" />
in the client-config.wsdd file.
