Description

In the calculateEffectivePolicy method in AxisBindingMessage, PolicyComponents are added in order from the most specific to the most general. This means that when they are combined by iterating over the list (e.g. for use by Rampart in RampartPolicyBuilder), service-wide policies will always override message-level ones. This order should be reversed, so that when the policies are processed in order, more specific policies will override more general ones.
