I think, if you use PolicyConstants.POLICY_OVERRIDE, you don't need to attach 
policies to WSDL at all. 
Dynamic policy in PolicyConstants.POLICY_OVERRIDE will overwrite all policies 
in WSDL, they just will be ignored.
See the code in PolicyOutInterceptor:
        // 1. Check overridden policy
        Policy p = 
(Policy)msg.getContextualProperty(PolicyConstants.POLICY_OVERRIDE);
        if (p != null) {
        // Use dynamic policy
        } else if (MessageUtils.isRequestor(msg)) {
            // 2. Process client policy
         } else {
            // 3. Process service policy
         }

In your interceptor you need to load policy from somewhere, parse it with 
Neethi and merge if necessary. You can load policies from WSDL, from separate 
file, from database or remotely.
After set PolicyConstants.POLICY_OVERRIDE property only this policy will be 
used, all your WSDL policies are irrelevant.

This is also possible solution. The benefits of the first one (interceptor + 
PolicyConstants.POLICY_OVERRIDE) are:
- solution is dynamic (you can change policy for each call without restarting 
client/service)
- policy can be loaded from any source, not necessarily from WSDL.

It really depends on your use case.

Andrei.

Subject: Dynamic policies using spring properties

I annotate my web services with one class level policy and two per method to 
take advantage of the placement attribute (see Fig 1). I would like to set the 
policy's uri as a spring property (see Fig 2). 

My first solution was to use an custom policy in/out interceptor to read the 
@Policy annotation's uri and if surround with "${}" then build a dynamic policy 
using Neethi and set it to PolicyConstants.POLICY_OVERRIDE. A problem I 
encountered with this approach is that I need to attach three different 
policies using different placements. Merging them may be a last resort option.

A temporary hack would be to alter 
org.apache.cxf.resource.ExtendedURIResolver.resolve() to resolve a uri 
surrounded with "${}" to a spring property. I'm hoping someone here can suggest 
a better solution.

Any thoughts
