Thanks Dennis. Will try that in next few days.

You should be able to use a Dispatch client to do something close to this. Create a Dispatch client from the WSDL with policy attached like this:

Service service = Service.create(wsdlURL, new QName(WSDL_NAMESPACE, SERVICE_LOCALNAME)); Dispatch<Source> disp = service.createDispatch(new QName(WSDL_NAMESPACE, PORT_LOCALNAME),

            Source.class, Service.Mode.PAYLOAD);

Then you can pass a StreamSource for the request body content to the service, and get back the response body content:

Source request = new StreamSource(new FileInputStream(new File(args[1])));

        Source response = disp.invoke(request);

Transformer tran = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();

        File outfile = new File("output.xml");
        FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(outfile);
        Result result = new StreamResult(fos);
        tran.transform(response, result);
        fos.close();

I don't know if the Policy will be picked up from the WSDL when you do this. If not, you should be able to set the policy directly in a custom interceptor, by parsing the Policy document using Apache Neethi and then storing the resulting Policy object into /PolicyConstants.POLICY_OVERRIDE/ message content property. Do a search on this and you should see some examples.

Hi all,

Is it possible for CXF to apply WS-Policy to xml string representing soap request directly?

I looked at all the demo client code I run for WSDL first web service with WS-Policy and the client code is always generated by the maven plugin cxf-codegen-plugin.

Nothing wrong with that. But looking at SoapUI makes me wander if it's possible to simply feed XML string as soap request to CXF, then CXF will do all the hard work of applying WS-Policy, just like SoapUI.

Thanks
