WS-Addressing Member Submission Policy Assertion Namespace Change in WCF

WCF RC1 (probably in Jul CTP as well) changed the policy assertion namespace URI to declare the usage of Member Submission WS-Addressing. The namespace was changed from:

http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/09/policy/addressing

to

http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/08/addressing/policy

Thus any WSDL published by a WCF-based service endpoint using Member Submission WS-Addressing cannot be imported by WSIT clients directly. We will provide a fix in the days to come.

But in order to fix the problem, in the meanwhile, when importing such a WSDL using wsimport, you need to localize the WCF-generated WSDL, change the namespace to the original namespace (ending in 2004/09/policy/addressing) and then import it using wsimport.

Similarly, any WSDL published by a WSIT-based endpoint cannot be imported by svcutil directly. The temporary fix involves localizing the WSIT-generated WSDL, changing the namespace as it is recognized by their tools (ending in 2004/08/addressing/policy) and then importing it using their tool.
