I'm using 4.2.0.GA with JSR-181 EJB webservices. My EBJ's are topped with the following annotations: @WebService(name = "InstitutionServices", targetNamespace = "http://tagus.ccf.org/", serviceName = "InstitutionServices") | @SOAPBinding(style = SOAPBinding.Style.DOCUMENT) | /* | * JBOSS specific security annotations | */ | @SecurityDomain("tagus-domain") | @WebContext(authMethod="BASIC", transportGuarantee="NONE", secureWSDLAccess=false) | | @Stateless(name = "InstitutionServices") | @Local(InstitutionServices.class) | @Remote(InstitutionServices.class) | /* | * JBOSS Specific | */ | @RemoteBinding(jndiBinding = "/ejb3/InstitutionServices") | | @Interceptors(ServiceMetrics.class) | @TransactionManagement(TransactionManagementType.BEAN) I'm using a Java 6.0 client to generate the request which looks like this: <?xml version="1.0" ?> | <soapenv:Envelope | xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" | xmlns:ns1="http://tagus.ccf.org/" | xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> | <soapenv:Header> | <wsse:Security | xmlns:wsse="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-... | soapenv:mustUnderstand="1"> | <wsse:UsernameToken | xmlns:wsu="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-w... | wsu:Id="XWSSGID-1187016843328-1067189645"> | <wsse:Username>1234/kimbal</wsse:Username> | <wsse:Password | Type="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-userna... | <wsse:Nonce EncodingType="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-ws... | <wsu:Created>2007-08-13T14:54:11.937Z</wsu:Created> | </wsse:UsernameToken> | </wsse:Security> | </soapenv:Header> | <soapenv:Body> | <ns1:Ping> | <ns1:Request>Hello World</ns1:Request> | </ns1:Ping> | </soapenv:Body> | </soapenv:Envelope> Everything looks right, but I'm getting the following error: 11:22:13,593 ERROR [SOAPFaultHelperJAXWS] SOAP request exception | javax.xml.ws.soap.SOAPFaultException: Unprocessed 'mustUnderstand' header element: {http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd}Security | at org.jboss.ws.core.jaxws.SOAPFaultHelperJAXWS.getSOAPFaultException(SOAPFaultHelperJAXWS.java:70) | at org.jboss.ws.core.jaxws.binding.SOAP11BindingJAXWS.throwFaultException(SOAP11BindingJAXWS.java:109) | at org.jboss.ws.core.CommonSOAP11Binding.verifyUnderstoodHeader(CommonSOAP11Binding.java:87) | at org.jboss.ws.core.CommonSOAPBinding.checkMustUnderstand(CommonSOAPBinding.java:911) | at org.jboss.ws.core.server.AbstractServiceEndpointInvoker.invoke(AbstractServiceEndpointInvoker.java:184) | at org.jboss.ws.core.server.ServiceEndpoint.processRequest(ServiceEndpoint.java:212) | at org.jboss.ws.core.server.ServiceEndpointManager.processRequest(ServiceEndpointManager.java:448) | at org.jboss.ws.core.server.AbstractServiceEndpointServlet.doPost(AbstractServiceEndpointServlet.java:114) | at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:710) | at org.jboss.ws.core.server.AbstractServiceEndpointServlet.service(AbstractServiceEndpointServlet.java:75) | at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:803) | at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:290) | at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.doFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:206) | at org.jboss.web.tomcat.filters.ReplyHeaderFilter.doFilter(ReplyHeaderFilter.java:96) | at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:235) | at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.doFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:206) | at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve.invoke(StandardWrapperValve.java:230) | at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContextValve.invoke(StandardContextValve.java:175) | at org.jboss.web.tomcat.security.SecurityAssociationValve.invoke(SecurityAssociationValve.java:179) | at org.apache.catalina.authenticator.AuthenticatorBase.invoke(AuthenticatorBase.java:525) | at org.jboss.web.tomcat.security.JaccContextValve.invoke(JaccContextValve.java:84) | at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHostValve.invoke(StandardHostValve.java:128) | at org.apache.catalina.valves.ErrorReportValve.invoke(ErrorReportValve.java:104) | at org.jboss.web.tomcat.service.jca.CachedConnectionValve.invoke(CachedConnectionValve.java:156) | at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngineValve.invoke(StandardEngineValve.java:109) | at org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteAdapter.service(CoyoteAdapter.java:241) | at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Processor.process(Http11Processor.java:844) | at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol$Http11ConnectionHandler.process(Http11Protocol.java:580) | at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.JIoEndpoint$Worker.run(JIoEndpoint.java:447) | at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:595) I've gone through all the topics on the JBossWS forum that refer to security or unprocessed mustUnderstand headers. I couldn't find a fix or a work around in any of them. After reading some it sounded like JBoss doesn't understand the current security header format. Is there a work around for this? What format is JBoss expecting? I'm willing the code a replacement header that will match what JBoss is expecting if that will work. However, at this point I'm not sure if JBoss is even looking for a security header at all. When using JSR-181 do I need an XML configuration file for a clear text password? At this stage I'm even willing to rip the security out if I didn't need the user identification during server processing.
