Description

When specifying AsymmetricBinding at the operation level but only using it for the response message, the request message is sent with a signature and the server throws an exception (tested with both 2.2.10 and the 2.3 nightly):
org.w3c.dom.DOMException: Cannot find Reference in Manifest
at org.apache.xml.security.signature.Manifest.<init>(Unknown Source)
at org.apache.xml.security.signature.SignedInfo.<init>(Unknown Source)

Here's an edited version of the WSDL (intended to demonstrate using message-level encryption only in one direction):

To use the attached .tgz, edit the build.properties cxf-home property to set the home directory for you CXF installation, and build with Ant (default target). This generates the .war, and you can then run the client with the Ant target "run".
