WS-Addressing example from CXF 3.0.0

[Richard Snowden]

Hi,

I'm working with the WS-Addressing example from CXF 3.0.0 found here:
apache-cxf-3.0.0-src\distribution\src\main\release\samples\ws_addressing\

I captured one request, sent from client to server, and used Chromes
Postman extension to modify it:
- made sure there's no SOAPAction the HTTP-Header
- set wsa:Action to some random value, like "blablabla"

Surprisingly it still worked!

It seems the WS-Addressing SOAP-Header field "Action" is not used at all in
CXF. Is this a bug or a feature? ;-)


Here is one of my requests:

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";>
    <soap:Header>
        <Action xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing
">blablabla</Action>
        <MessageID xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing
">urn:uuid:fa46e01c-f5c7-4d5b-b653-0f79d59885e8</MessageID>
