Is there any way around this one without switching off of native?  I appear to be very stuck. I'm running JBoss 5.1 AS.  This happens trying to secure the outbound message.  Please let me know if there's any other info I can provide. Caused by: com.sun.xml.wss.XWSSecurityException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: SOAPElement expected     at com.sun.xml.wss.impl.misc.XWSSProcessor2_0Impl.secureOutboundMessage(XWSSProcessor2_0Impl.java:96)     at com.vitalchek.wsClient.spring.SecurityHandler.secureClient(SecurityHandler.java:94)     ... 53 more Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: SOAPElement expected     at org.jboss.ws.core.soap.SOAPHeaderImpl.convertToHeaderElement(SOAPHeaderImpl.java:286)     at org.jboss.ws.core.soap.SOAPHeaderImpl.insertBefore(SOAPHeaderImpl.java:204)     at com.sun.xml.wss.impl.XMLUtil.prependChildElement(XMLUtil.java:345)     at com.sun.xml.wss.impl.XMLUtil.prependChildElement(XMLUtil.java:352)     at com.sun.xml.wss.impl.SecurableSoapMessage.findWsseSecurityHeaderBlock(SecurableSoapMessage.java:211) Thanks, Brad -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/557595#557595] Start a new discussion in JBoss Web Services at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
