Turns out my work-around really didn't solve the problem (because
Axis/Rampart is anticipating a WS-Addressing reply, and since I've stripped
it out downstream, I'd have to add it back manually).

The crux of the issue is that I cannot figure out how to added this:

<wsa:ReplyTo><wsa:Address>http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing/anonymous
</wsa:Address></wsa:ReplyTo>

To my WS-Addressing part of my SOAP header.

I believe it ought to be present, but it's not, as I've confirmed through
TCPMon. I've tried everything I can think of to get it to appear, but thus
far have had no luck.

Thanks,

jeff
