Can you please drop an email to wss4j-dev (specifically addressed to
werner?). Also please look at juice code base
(http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/juice/).

thanks,

Thanks for the link and sorry for the delayed response. Couple of quick
questions though:
1) Since that message is a bit dated, is it possible to get an update on
this? Since support for RSA-OAEP, and a lot of the signature algorithms
has been integrated in JDK 1.5, it seems the only reasons to require any
external JCE provider at all would be to support a larger range of
key-sizes for symmetric encryption not provided by the JDK. Is this
deduction accurate?
2) In addition, there are some inconsistencies in the behaviour of
Bouncycastle and other crypto providers (including the JDK) which seem
to make the Axis/wss4j code (somewhat accidentally) dependent on
Bouncycastle. From my inspection, these are minor things like algorithm
transformations/names etc. Are there any deeper issues I have missed in
my assessment?

If the stumbling blocks are limited to what I mentioned above, then it
probably wont require a lot of effort to make Axis more crypto-provider
agnostic.
Thanks,
Vivek
