Hi,

We have hit a limitation in PolicyBasedWSS4JOutInterceptor which hard codes 
mustUnderstand = true (line 99). This is configurable in the 
WSS4JOutInterceptor today, but not when using policy.

        public void handleMessage(SoapMessage message) throws Fault {
            Collection<AssertionInfo> ais;
            SOAPMessage saaj = message.getContent(SOAPMessage.class);

            boolean mustUnderstand = true;
            String actor = null;

Obviously this makes sense in most cases, but we have some intermediaries which 
do not understand security...

Would you accept a patch to have this configurable, for instance by creating a 
new property in SecurityConstants (for instance ws-security.mustsunderstand) 
and default to true?

Best regards,

Oddbjørn
