I don't know a lot about acegi, but if you are only talking about propagating a WS-Security UnsernameToken through a SOAP wss:Security header, then yes, CXF is perfectly capable of doing this.

Note, however, that you will need to add some code on the consuming side of the message to "validate" the username and password, via WSS4J callback, which you'll also need to configure through Spring. Like XFire, the CXF WS-Security interceptor is based not only on the WSS4J toolkit, but also on the WSS4J Handler architecture (which Axis uses, as well). Not knowing much at all about XFire, I believe the CXF configuration should be pretty strightforwardly mappable to CXF.

Shout if you need a sample CXF config.

There is an example at that URL
as well but it is for XFire and I'm not sure how those concepts translate
over to CXF; additionally the example they use points out its own
inefficiency suggesting it should use a custom handler to read the contents
of the SOAP message via StAX.
