Calling secured services from ESB

Question

Hi,
How to invoke secured (HTTP Basic/WS-Security) web services from ESB? BPEL supports it via partner link properties/adapter header properties.
Thanks in advance.

This is a sneak peek at how headers are used. This example shows how to set outbound WS-Sec headers using a routing serrvice XSLT. Create a transformation in a RS that is invoking an outbound SOAP service and add the text below. Note it uses xsl variables and some new esb header xpath functions.
For using ws-security in ESB you need to add the variable username and password in your xsl transformation template against the target. As below
<xsl:variable name="Username"
select="ehdr:setOutboundHeader('/wsse1:Security/wsse1:UsernameToken/wsse1:Username','oc4jadmin','wsse1=http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd;')"/>
<xsl:variable name="Password"
select="ehdr:setOutboundHeader('/wsse1:Security/wsse1:UsernameToken/wsse1:Password','welcome1','wsse1=http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd;')"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
