Max Fichtelmann updated CXF-7148:
---------------------------------
    Description: 
when using an asymmetricBinding, when requested in parallel, quite a few 
requests fail, where the client could not associate a symmetric key with the 
response.

As it turned out, the symmetric key was stored temporarily in a cache using an 
id that is not unique at all.

{code:title=SymmetricBindingHandler.java|borderStyle=solid}
// line 985 via 162
tokenStore.add(tempTok);

// line 182
tok = tokenStore.getToken(tokenId);
{code}

This leads to a race condition if another thread reaches line 162 before the 
key is retrieved in 182 and the same id is used.

In my case, the id was "_5002" consistently.

We implemented a hack using a ThreadLocal based TokenStore, but I think the 
symmetric key should actually not be cached at all.
