AW: [ws-sx] Issue 28: Multiple supporting tokens of the same type?

["Dittmann, Werner" <werner.dittmann@siemens.com>]

I support that. We are implementing a WSP parser
and a first version of a WSP processor that uses the
parsed policy to create messages according to the
policy.

We came across some problems as noted in some of my
issues because WSP is fairly complex and IMHO in some
cases confusing.

What I would also like to see is a better mapping to
the WS Security specification. IMHO some of the interop
uses cases of WS Security can not described with WSP.

Werer
