Error description

When a WS-Security and WS-Addressing policy are applied
to a client, the Body element in the outbound SOAP message
may appear within a Header element.

Here is sample failing SOAP message.

<soapenv:Header ...>
<wsa:Action>...</wsa:Action>
<wsse:Security ...>...</wsse:Security>
<soapenv:Body>
<input>x</input>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Header>

Local fix

```
Detach ws-addressing policy.
```

When a WS-Security and WS-Addressing policy are applied
to an application, the Body element in the outbound SOAP message
may appear within thed Header element.

Here is sample failing SOAP message:

<soapenv:Header ...>

<wsse:Security ...>...</wsse:Security>
<soapenv:Body>
<input>x</input>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Header>

Problem conclusion

This problem is exposed by the WS-Security runtime when it
uses a "fast path" to build the SOAP Security header.  When
this path is not used, the problem does not happen.

The following WS-Security custom property is added:

com.ibm.wsspi.wssecurity.generator.useWSSObject=false

Valid values for this property are true and false and defaults
to true.  When this property is set to false, the "fast path"
will not be used and the problem will not occur.

To enable the fix, put the following property in the
"outbound", or "inbound and outbound" custom properties in the
bindings that will be active for the application.  For more
information on how to set a WS-Security custom property, refer

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix pack 7.0.0.19 and 8.0.0.1.  Please refer to the Recommended
