Title: Allow W3C version of WS-Policy to be used

Description:

WS-Policy has progressed quickly at the W3C. WS-SecurityPolicy should be updated to allow the use of WS-Policy 1.5 in addition to the current reference to WS-Policy 1.2.

Related issues:

None.

Proposed Resolution:

1. Add following text to WS-SecurityPolicy introduction:

“The assertions defined within this specification have been designed to work independently of a specific version of WS-Policy. At the time of the publication of this specification the versions of WS-Policy known to correctly compose with this specification are WS-Policy 1.2 [current reference] and 1.5 [add reference to CR when available]. Within this specification the use of the namespace prefix wsp refers generically to the WS-Policy namespace, not a specific version.”

 

Strike wsp from the namespace table.

 

2. Remove the hard dependency from the WS-SecurityPolicy XML Schema document to a specific version of WS-Policy:

 

  <xs:complexType name="NestedPolicyType">

    <xs:sequence>

      <xs:element ref="wsp:Policy" /> <!-- remove this line -->

      <xs:any minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" namespace="##other" processContents="lax"/>

    </xs:sequence>

    <xs:anyAttribute namespace="##any" processContents="lax" />

  </xs:complexType>

 

The extensibility point that follows will allow the use of the nested policy.
