Thanks! Feel free to ask me any questions in terms of upgrading Rampart to use WSS4J 1.6. You will see quite a lot of compilation errors, but most are fairly obvious. There are some slightly tricky changes in relation to code which calls WSSecSignature, which was necessitated by the move to use the JSR-105 APIs for XML Digital signature.
I'm just about to create a beta version, so any feedback you can give me would be great. I'm open to some API tweaks after 1.6.0 goes out for the first few versions, in case any changes I've made cause serious problems for Rampart, or other third-party libraries. Colm.
