Hi,

Just started investigating with Wse 2.0.
I have a asp.net web servive that is not wse aware.
Put together simple client that called method of it providing
username/password via WSE 2.0.
Client received exception message back
"An unhandled exception of type
'System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHeaderException' occurred in
system.web.services.dll

Additional information:
System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHeaderException: SOAP header
Security was not understood.
  at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHeaderHandling.EnsureHeadersUnderstood(SoapHeaderCollection
headers)
  at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapServerProtocol.WriteReturns(Object[]
returnValues, Stream outputStream)
  at System.Web.Services.Protocols.WebServiceHandler.WriteReturns(Object[]
returnValues)
  at System.Web.Services.Protocols.WebServiceHandler.Invoke()
"

however the web service method was successfully called , i know this
as it adds a row to database table. Is this behaviour to be expected ?
I wouldn't expect this .

One other question is that most sample Wse 2.0 code shows "checks"
being carried out inside the web service method code e.g

[WebMethod]
       [SoapDocumentMethod(ResponseElementName="StockQuotes")]
public StockQuote[] StockQuoteRequest( [XmlArray(IsNullable=true),
XmlArrayItem("Symbol", IsNullable=false)] string[] symbols )
       {
           // Reject any requests which are not valid SOAP requests
           if (RequestSoapContext.Current == null)
               throw new ApplicationException("Only SOAP requests are
permitted.");

           // Check if the soap message contains all the required
message parts
           AppBase.VerifyMessageParts(RequestSoapContext.Current);

If i wanted to for every method ensure the username/password was valid
before entering the method how do i do this with WSE 2.0 ?. It sounds
like something it must support , i just don't see how to achieve it.

All help welcome.

Regards
John
