Overview
Copy link

To enable WS-Addressing the WS-Addressing interceptors must be added to the inbound and outbound interceptor chains. This is done in one of the following ways:
  • Apache CXF Features
  • RMAssertion and WS-Policy Framework
  • Using Policy Assertion in a WS-Addressing Feature

Adding WS-Addressing as a Feature

WS-Addressing can be enabled by adding the WS-Addressing feature to the client and the server configuration as shown in Example 16.1, “client.xml—Adding WS-Addressing Feature to Client Configuration” and Example 16.2, “server.xml—Adding WS-Addressing Feature to Server Configuration” respectively.
