             Summary: Improve WS-AddressingAndIdentity support in Axis2 to 
allow configuring any identity claims
                 Key: AXIS2-5659
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-5659
             Project: Axis2
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Addressing, kernel, wsdl
    Affects Versions: 1.6.2, 1.7.0
            Reporter: Detelin Yordanov


Axis2 supports specifying the public key information of a service and 
expressing it in the WSDL using WS-AddressingAndIdentity's {{ds:KeyInfo}} 
element.
This support has been added as part of AXIS2-4066 but it is far from complete, 
since it only allows one to configure the x509 certificate information and none 
of the rest of the claims defined in the specification (dns name, service or 
user principal, security tokens, etc.). Additionally, the current support uses 
a too generic service parameter name - {{ServiceIdentityData}} - which, despite 
of the name, should be used only to configure the X509 certificate data of 
Identity's {{ds:KeyInfo}} claim.

I'm providing a patch that allows configuring the full content of the Identity 
element using a new {{WSAddressingAndIdentity}} service parameter, for example, 
expressing Service principal name claim can be done using the following service 
parameter:
{code:xml}
<parameter name="addressingIdentity">
    <Identity xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2006/02/addressingidentity";>
        <Spn>http/[email protected]</Spn>
    </Identity>
</parameter>
{code}

The previous support has been preserved for backward compatibility, though I'm 
not sure whether it is used at all since I could find neither a sample nor a 
test case for it.

In general, the current architecture of Axis2 does not allow extending the wsdl 
generation in a pluggable fashion, for example using an Axis2 module. I would 
have preferred not to modify Axis2 wsdl generation code, but to be able to 
configure wsdl extensibility elements using Axis2 modules, but this is not 
possible since modules do not participate in wsdl generation at the moment. I 
have discussed this issue in Axis2 mailing list:
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/axis-java-dev/201404.mbox/%3CCAEu2FRN9b_iLgqp8mg7QEwx52XK0oXQx3eiGVytT%2BY61bmrdbg%40mail.gmail.com%3E
I thought I could propose an improvement but at some point I gave up and 
decided to go with the current solution.
This patch should work for 1.6 branch and for trunk, as it takes care to 
"unwrap" parameter values if needed (OMElement parameters are no longer 
"wrapped" in a parameter element since revision
