Hi,
AFAIK, there is no way to specify completely the WS-Security stuff in WSDL.
It's a semantic problem. For the body parts, the semantics are simple "send
this stuff in the message with the stated encoding". For the WS-Security
header, the semantics vary according to the use of the header: "sign
digitally", "encode", "encode and sign" etc. Specifying the wsse:Security
header itself is too ambiguous. It doesn't tell a code-generator or a
client what to do.
However, suppose that you derived a schema that included those elements from
WS-Security that were relevant to the actual use; e.g. just the elements to
express a signature. This would have a new top-level element (derived by
restriction from the basic wsse:Security?) that code generators and
dynamic clients might recognize. This might work for an in-house solution; I
haven't thought it through in detail.
