Thanks, Dan.

There's an issue with the WSS4J interceptor, which I encountered when testing interop with WCF-3.0 WS-Sec 1.0 scenarios.

The issue resulted in my posting

http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-790

but I'm told this behavior in CXF is by design, and hence (I suspect) may not be fixed in general, so we may need to modify the WSS4J interceptor, itself.

The problem boils down to the fact that the CXF runtime is copying headers that are sent from the client, and processed in the server on the inbound side, onto the outbound response context. As a consequence, the client gets back headers it sent to the server. Some of these headers have things like key references (which in general the client can't resolve), or they reference protected parts which can't be resolved, because the wsu:id refers to elements in the input, not in the output.

The solution should probably be to remove any security headers from the message on the inbound side, after they have been processed, though this will have consequences for entities "downstream" from the WSS4J interceptor; this "in" interceptor is typically fairly close to the wire, so anyone who previously may have had an interest in these headers will be sunk. (I know of no such entities, but I don't know all deployments.) It's also sometimes difficult to figure out which headers to remove, since the return values from WSS4J may not be sufficiently informative.

There are some other issues with the checkReceiverResults operation, which our WSS4J in-interceptor inherits from WSHandler -- it's particularly sensitive to the ordering of elements, in cases where it probably doesn't need to be, and which introduces issues when trying to service requests from multiple toolkits, which all have their own peculiar ordering characteristics. Something we're looking at, in WSS4J.

Hiya,
Thanks for reporting this. I've fixed this in SVN now. You can either
compile from SVN or I can ping you once a new snapshot is uploaded (probably
monday).

Cheers,
- Dan

No, this won't work.  I posted an e-mail on the dev list about this
yesterday.  The problem is the WSS4JInInterceptor doesn't accept a
Map<String, Object> only a Map<String, String> so there is no way to ref
an instantiated object.
