WSSE problems with soap envelope

Question

Hi,
I'm trying to use a Java control to talk to an external website which
requires a digital signature in the Soap Header and cannot seem to get a
properly formatted soap message.
Based on the documentation, I have set up the wsse file to specify that I
want to add a digital signature and also specify my alias, password,
keystore, and keystorepassword. I am sure that it is picking up the digital
cert and is able to take out the private key and all (I get exceptions if I
move the cert or if I specify an incorrect password).
I am also using my own ClientHandler to add in additional Header elements
that are required by the destination webservice. I know that that is being
properly based on inspecting the soap message in my header and that the
external webservice is able to process my request. In adding in the WSSE
Client Handler however, it looks like the security handler is adding an
additional Header element rather than adding the required subelements into
the existing Header element (the one that my Client Handler already
created). I am getting back an exception from the webservice saying that
the Header element is already defined.
Is it possible that the WSSEClientHandler, while adding the necessary
attributes is not looking for or detecting the already existing Header?
I have submitted a case to weblogic support but have not yet heard back
(case # 525549).
Thanks,
Gary

Hi Klaus
In your wsdl file the soap address tag (given below)
<b><soap:address location="http://xxxxxxxx:8000/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=:Foo_SOAP_Service:SOAP_Foo_out&version=3.0&Sender.Service=Foo_SOAP_Service&Interface=urn%3A%2F%2Fporeceive.xi.pse.siemens.com%5Efoo_out_sync" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/"/></b>
is to be edited as
<b><soap:address location="http://xxxxxxxx:50000//XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=:Foo_SOAP_Service:SOAP_Foo_out" /></b>
because the soap address format should be like :
<i>http://host:port/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=party:service:channel</i>
