Hi dims, Michael:

It is certainly true that role support is quite lacking so far in Axis2 
- I'll commit to cleaning this all up over the next week or so.  The 
main reason to differentiate the SOAP versions is to throw the correct 
fault - I think Axis1 dealt a lot better in some ways with the different 
SOAP versions (see org.apache.axis.soap.SOAPConstants), and we should 
probably implement something similar for A2.  This lets you write clean 
code and keep the version-specific stuff hidden underneath another class.

That said, the checkMustUnderstand() code is definitely doing the wrong 
thing right now.  The correct logic should be:

for (each header that IS targeted to me) {
    if (!processed and mustUnderstand==true) {
        throw version-specific-MU-Fault
    }
}

The first cut of "is targeted to me" is something like "has no role, the 
'next' role, or is the ultimate receiver role".  The next version is to 
support a configurable list of role URIs.

Thanks for noticing this - clearly we need better tests here as well. 
Deepal and I were focusing on the Phase concept for that checkin you 
reference, and didn't pay enough attention to the MU piece.
