Workshop 8.1 WS-Security (WSSE)

Question

Dear Colleagues,
I am new to Bea Platform 8.1 and Workshop 8.1 that comes with it.
I have installed this platform on my Windows 2000 professional machine.
I have started evaluating Workshop 8.1 to see how it can improve the development
of enterprise applications.
I thought I should start with the tutorial that comes with Workshop. This is
also available on-line at http://e-docs.bea.com/workshop/docs81/doc/en/core/index.html.
The problem is that I have been through the tutorial as instructed up to the section
on "Step 6: Web Service Security" but the code does not work. When I run the
TestClient.jws I get an exclamation mark on the requestCreditReport and investigateControl.requestCreditReport
methods in the Message Log on the left pane of the test browser.
On the right pane of the test browser, I have the following exception:
Exception

Exception in requestCreditReport
com.bea.control.ServiceControlException: SERVICE FAULT:
Code:com.bea.wlw.runtime.jws.wssecurity.exception.WLWWSSEException
String:java.io.FileNotFoundException: .\client.jks (The system cannot find the
file specified)
Detail:
END SERVICE FAULT
at com.bea.wlw.runtime.core.control.ServiceControlImpl.invoke(ServiceControlImpl.jcs:853)
at com.bea.wlw.runtime.core.dispatcher.DispMethod.invoke(DispMethod.java:359)

at $Proxy9.requestCreditReport(Unknown Source)
at client.TestClient.requestCreditReport(TestClient.jws:20)
As a result of this, I have dropped a copy of the client.jks in the InvestigateClient
folder which contains the client folder where the TestClient.jws resides. This
makes n o difference. I am sure this problem is due to missing security policy
files but I don't know how to solve it.
If any of you have gone through this tutorial already, you might have come across
this problem. Can you help please.
Many thanks,
Koudry.

Hi Isi,
I haven't ever tried it, but I highly doubt it was supported.
In WLW 8.1, a non-final version of the WS-Security Spec was supported
and I thought WS-Addressing came after WS-Security.

Hi,
I'm using BEA WebLogic Workshop to develop a process which access external WS (so, I'm developing the client side). For performing that I'm using a JavaControl. I know I can add WS-Security support via de control property "ws-security-service". Is there something similar for WS-Addressing? What about all the other WS-* standards?
Unformtunatelly I can't use AXIS due to the fact my BEA installation uses a certain version of JRockit (I can't change that) which contains a javax.xml.*'s old version, incompatible with AXIS :-(
Thanks a lor, really!! :-)
Isi,
