Have you considered setting up a time stamp server in that company? That way no "faking" aound would be necessary.

Generating a timestamp response is not a task for iText. BouncyCastle, OTOH, should be up to it. Be aware, though, that a timestamp essentially is a signature in its own right which signs a special structure containing the datetime in question. Therefore, you still have to decide on the company PKI to use for the timestamp generation and verification. If the module you develop will be used centrally on but one server, creating timestamps with BC might be feasible. Otherwise I would definitively recommend setting up a company internal time stamp server as mentioned above.
