> The UsernameTokenProcessor will not authenticate anything but a UsernameToken 
> that was hashed with a nonce and timestamp.  Anything else that is passed to 
> it will create a valid principal regardless of what the implementations 
> password callback handler does.  This is creating confusion and preventing 
> WSS4J from being used for anything where the the UsernameToken is passed 
> plainly.  It is understood that doing this in a production environment is 
> discouraged, but it is usefull to have this implementation work as expected 
> so that the framework can be experimented with and evaluated.
> Specifically, in UsernameTokenProcessor.java, for a UsernameToken that is not 
> of hashed, nothing is done with the WSPasswordCallback object after the call 
> to the password handler handle method is invoked.  Since nothing is done with 
> it, the code drops through and sets up a valid principal with the userid and 
> returns.  There is no way to signal a 
> WSSecurityException(WSSecurityException.FAILED_AUTHENTICATION).
