Dynamically add ws-security to a service

[Yogendran Gopalakrishnan]

hi all,


I have a service where we have implemented ws-security with certificate (issuer name and serial number). Rampart is used for the security configuration and the configurations for the same is in the services.xml like below,

<service name="WSSecurityService">
	<Description>
		Security Web Service
	</Description>
	<messageReceivers>
		<messageReceiver mep="http://www.w3.org/2004/08/wsdl/in-only"
			class="org.apache.axis2.rpc.receivers.RPCInOnlyMessageReceiver" />
		<messageReceiver mep="http://www.w3.org/2004/08/wsdl/in-out"
			class="org.apache.axis2.rpc.receivers.RPCMessageReceiver" />
	</messageReceivers>
	<module ref="rampart" />
	<parameter name="InflowSecurity">
		<action>
			<items>Encrypt</items>
			<passwordCallbackClass>com.my.my1.webservice.PWCBHandler
			</passwordCallbackClass>
			<decryptionPropFile>service.properties</decryptionPropFile>
		</action>
	</parameter>
	<parameter name="OutflowSecurity">
		<action>
			<items>Encrypt</items>
			<encryptionUser>client</encryptionUser>
			<encryptionPropFile>service.properties</encryptionPropFile>
		</action>
	</parameter>
	<parameter name="ServiceClass" locked="false">com.my.my1.webservice.WSSecurityService
	</parameter>
</service>

It works great without issues. But some of our customers would like for the ws-security to be turned off when they dont need it. Now, they do not want to be going in and modifying the code to remove the ws-security assertions in the services.xml and moreover it would be inside the WAR file. Is there a way to programatically turn off the ws-security settings and not have the service go through security? Dynamic rampart configuration is an option I am exploring (and having quite some trouble with --> see my thread --> http://www.coderanch.com/t/564573/Web-Services/java/Issues-dynamically-configuring-rampart-configuration). Apart from the dynamic rampart configuration, is there any other way that I can get this achieved? Suggestions please.

Regards,
Yogi
