Hi

i've opened the WSE3 settings dll with Reflector and the supprt for filters
has been removed and not supported anymore.

so, filters are out.

In order to port a custom filer written in WSE 2.0 to WSE 3.0 you need to:

1. Derive your custom filer class from Microsoft.Web.Services3.SoapFilter.
You will need to implement a ProcessMessage method, much like the WSE 2.0
custom filters did.
2. Implement a class that derives from
Microsoft.Web.Services3.Design.PolicyAssertion and returns an instance of
your custom filer in at least one of the four virtual Create*Filter methods
it must implement.
3. Add an instance of your custom policy assertion to a a Policy. This can
be done either declaratively through the use of XML policy file, or
imperatively by instantiating the Policy class, and adding an instance of
your custom PolicyAssertion to the Policy.Assertions collection.
4. Set the custom policy you have created on the client proxy and/or your
service class. This can be done using the PolicyAttribute or the SetPolicy
method on the proxy class.

The relationship between the concepts of policy and filters has been changed
in WSE 3.0. Policy in WSE 3.0 acts as a description of a the entire pipeline.
Policy containts policy assertions. Pipeline contains soap filtes. Policy
assertions act as factories of soap filters. Policy acts as a factory of a
pipline. Policy is meant to be a cofiguration-time concept, and pipeline is a
runtime concept.

Thank you,
