Remove WS-Addressing/WS-Security sections from WSE 3.0 Client request

Question

I\'ve got a simple C# web service proxy class that I created with WSDL.exe. I am invoking a method on the remote web service, and it is including a bunch of WS-Addressing a

Well, I ended up using a technique I have used in the past. I created classes that implement SoapFilter and PolicyAssertion which allow me to modify the raw XML of the SOAP request before it is sent. Below is an example:

    public class MyPolicy : SoapFilter
    {
        public override SoapFilterResult ProcessMessage(SoapEnvelope envelope)
        {
            // Remove all WS-Addressing and WS-Security header info
            envelope.Header.RemoveAll();

            return SoapFilterResult.Continue;
        }
    }

    public class MyAssertion : PolicyAssertion
    {
        public override SoapFilter CreateClientInputFilter(FilterCreationContext context)
        {
            return null;
        }

        public override SoapFilter CreateClientOutputFilter(FilterCreationContext context)
        {
            return new MyPolicy();
        }

        public override SoapFilter CreateServiceInputFilter(FilterCreationContext context)
        {
            return null;
        }

        public override SoapFilter CreateServiceOutputFilter(FilterCreationContext context)
        {
            return null;
        }
    }

Then in your web service proxy's contructor you apply the policy:

/// 
    [System.CodeDom.Compiler.GeneratedCodeAttribute("System.Web.Services", "2.0.50727.1433")]
    [System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThroughAttribute()]
    [System.ComponentModel.DesignerCategoryAttribute("code")]       
 [System.Web.Services.WebServiceBindingAttribute(Name="MyBinding", Namespace="http://example.com")]
    public partial class MyWebClient : WebServicesClientProtocol {

        // ... member variables here

        /// 
        public MyWebClient()
        {
            this.Url = "http://example.com";           
            if ((this.IsLocalFileSystemWebService(this.Url) == true)) {
                this.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
                this.useDefaultCredentialsSetExplicitly = false;
            }
            else {
                this.useDefaultCredentialsSetExplicitly = true;
            }

            // Apply policy here
            Policy policy = new Policy();
            policy.Assertions.Add(new MyAssertion());
            this.SetPolicy(policy); 
        }
  }
