----------------------------------------

hi, can sbd give a link to the specification, which exactly defines that:

if a outgoing request has wsse headers, the incoming response is required to have those headers also ?

> When jbossws is configured to "use org.jboss.ws.extensions.security.jaxws.WSSecurityHandlerServer" JaxWS handler, all SOAP messages have to contain optional Header element. Messages which do not contain this element causes NullPointerException.
> Class: WSSecurityDispatcher
> Method: public static void handleInbound(CommonMessageContext ctx) throws SOAPException, SOAPFaultException
> // soapHeader is null for messages without header element.
> SOAPHeader soapHeader = soapMessage.getSOAPHeader();
> QName secQName = new QName(Constants.WSSE_NS, "Security");
> // Method findElement try to use soapHeader without checking against null first and causes NullPointerException.
> Element secHeaderElement = Util.findElement(soapHeader, secQName);
> Workaround:
> SOAPHeader soapHeader = soapMessage.getSOAPHeader();
> Element secHeaderElement = null;
> if( soapHeader != null )  {
>     	  QName secQName = new QName(Constants.WSSE_NS, "Security");
>     	  secHeaderElement = Util.findElement(soapHeader, secQName);
> }
