Hi Ashok, You generally do not need to exchange policies. For example, it is enough to retrieve a provider's policy, pick one of the alternatives and then just use it. The requester's policy (may be implicit or explicit) determines how the requester picks which policy alternative to use. Here the request is using the provider's policy to determine what behaviors and capabilities the provider supports. I hope this helps.

Just asking the question. My understanding of the processing model is that the two endpoints exchange policies and decide on a single common policy alternative that satisfies both policies. This alternative is then applied to messages flowing in both directions. Is that right? All the best, Ashok
