Colm O hEigeartaigh commented on CXF-3337:
------------------------------------------


> 1.) ZULU time must be used for timestamp comparisions. 

I merged a fix to WSS4J to set the TimeZone to be UTC (not GMT) for validation.

> 2.) Need to check for future dated timestamps.

The code is already there in WSHandler...possibly your testcase was not working 
because the timezone was not being set to UTC?

Calendar validCreation = Calendar.getInstance();
validCreation.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC")); 
Calendar cre = timestamp.getCreated();
if (cre != null && cre.after(validCreation)) {
 ....
}

> Couple issues discovered during testing of the timestamp:
> 1.) ZULU time must be used for timestamp comparisions. Cannot make the 
> assumption that the web services client is in the same time zone as the 
> server. Changed the following code:
>     org.apache.ws.security.handler.WSHandler
>           protected boolean verifyTimestamp(Timestamp timestamp, int 
> timeToLive) method
>              ...
>              // Calculate the time that is allowed for the message to travel
>              Calendar validCreation = Calendar.getInstance();
>              //added the following line
>              validCreation.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT")); //ZULU 
> Time 
> 2.) Need to check for future dated timestamps. During our validation using 
> SOAPUI, the timestamps in the request can future dated by the validation 
> team. Changed the following code in 
> org.apache.cxf.ws.security.wss4j.WSS4JInInterceptor.java:
>     protected void checkTimestamps(SoapMessage msg, RequestData reqData, 
> Vector wsResult) 
>         throws WSSecurityException {
>         /*
>          * Perform further checks on the timestamp that was transmitted in
>          * the header. In the following implementation the timestamp is
>          * valid if it was created after (now-ttl), where ttl is set on
>          * server side, not by the client. Note: the method
>          * verifyTimestamp(Timestamp) allows custom implementations with
>          * other validation algorithms for subclasses.
>          */
>         // Extract the timestamp action result from the action vector
