Nathan Clement commented on WSS-430:
------------------------------------

Hi Marc,

Thanks for your reply - it's very useful.

With regards to buffering the attachments, I see from JIRA that you guys have 
done some awesome work to support streaming in WSS4J.  This will help us a lot 
in the future because the messages we're looking at could be quite large and 
not having to have a DOM representation would be great.  It would also be great 
if there was a way to stream the attachment content for signature/encryption so 
that it didn't have to be buffered in memory.  DataHandler was one idea I had, 
but I agree that it may not be the most appropriate for the public API.  I like 
the idea that attachments are just other external references.

I've had a go at implementing the canonicalisation of attachments.  I ended up 
doing it in my custom URIDereferencer when the attachment content type is 
text/xml, application/xml or application/soap+xml.  The dereferencer parses the 
XML into a DOM (since I'm working with 1.6.9) and returns an ApacheNodeSetData 
instance.  The addReferencesToSign() adds the exclusive canonicalisation 
transform to the transforms list.

I am aware of the attachment complete transform.  The Axiom API doesn't seem to 
provide me with enough MIME header values to implement this, so I'm hoping I 
can get away with just using the attachment content transform :)  If that 
doesn't turn out to be the case, I'll look at patching my local copy of Axiom 
to get the extra header values.

Thanks,

Nathan

> The attached patches should serve as a basis for discussions how 
> the support for SwA in WSS4j and the integration in
> a SOAP-Stack should look like.
> Some notes to the patch:
> - Applies to the current trunk of santuario and wss4j.
> - The client side demonstrates the DOM approach whereas the server side uses 
> the StAX implementation.
> - I've implemented the very basic just to have a working proof-of-concept.
> - Attachments are requested via callback from the soap-stack because 
>       - of decoupling from soap-stack
>       - to support full streaming from network to SIB as far as possible
> - CXF dependencies are just a leftover from V1 and because the 
> SecurityInInterceptor is not ported to V2
> - Encryption / Decryption of an attachment is streaming oriented, no 
> buffering is done in WSS4J.
> - Signature creation and verification is at the moment buffered in WSS4j but 
> the signature-verification can, under some conditions, be streamed as well.
> - To prevent patching of CXF for the prototype the WSS4J Interceptors and 
> some dependencies are copied and modified and also included in the patch. The 
> santuatio changes are necessary for the StAX impl.
>   For DOM all necessary santuario changes are done via reflection or other 
> hacks for now.
> Feedback is very welcome and also necessary!
> Thanks,
> Marc
