[Identity-dev] [jira] Created: (IDENTITY-20) Implement Mex

Hi,

This is the same MEX, but there are identity specific elements in the
wsdl.

I am using wso2xfer.jar from wsas repository. It is not as easy as
dropping the module into the repository because,

1) Security policy is set by WSAS. Therefore policy is not available
in the services.xml file. I had to retrieve it from WSAS database and
insert it into the axis2's automatically generated wsdl file. Mex
provides a nice plug-in point to do this.

2) Then comes Identity specific addressing elements, which has to be
inserted into the axis2 generated wsdl. So I have to change the binding
elements, services elements of the wsdl before replying to the MEX
message.

3) Finally, last but not least ... and the latest issue and solution.
STS's security policy and Mex security policy are different, but in WSAS
I cannot apply Security for a specific operation. Therefore I suggest
that MEX must be hosted as a different service with the knowledge of
STS. Since we are using WSAS, this is can be easily and beautifully.

Any comments, objections on the third point? Since the release is next
week I am going ahead with the 3rd point today.

Thank you,
Dimuthu.
