WSE 3.0 WseRM - what does it need to work?

Question

Hello Folks,

I was looking WSE 3.0/WseRM examples that comes with Microsoft WSE 3.0 Reliable Messaging-labs.
All ASMX / WseRM samples had a following tag in their Config files.

    <security>
      <!-- Sample uses WSE test certs -->
      <x509 allowTestRoot="true" />
    </security>

So I'm asking that is certification file a must when using WSE / WseRM?
Or can WseRM work without certifications?

Thanks,

Michael

Answer 1

I presume you already know that WSE is obsolete, and you're asking this question because you are being forced to use it anyway?

WCF is Web Services. They are not two separate things.
Use WCF for All New Web Service Development, instead of legacy ASMX or obsolete WSE
Use File->New Project to create Web Service Projects

Answer 2

Yes I'm forced to use it because of Customer's platform.
But what comes to my question, is certification file  needed for WSE 3/WseRM?

Answer 3

The customer's platform should not be relevant. Unless the customer is using something obsolete like DIME, you should be able to do the exact same thing with WCF as with WSE. The difference would be that you would not be using obsolete code  yourself.
