Hi,

I was wondering if there is any code in Rampart (or WSS4J) that rejects stale 
timestamps in UsernameToken elements?  The WS-Security UsernameToken Profile 
says the following:

It is RECOMMENDED that web service producers provide a timestamp “freshness” 
limitation, and that any UsernameToken with “stale” timestamps be rejected. As 
a guideline, a value of five minutes can be used as a minimum to detect, and 
thus reject, replays.

If there's nothing existing to implement this recommendation, I can write a 
patch to implement this.  I thought this could be done in RampartEngine after 
the "nonceLifeTimeInSeconds" is checked.  I could use the same timeout period 
and reject any request with a Created timestamp older that this value.  Is that 
the best place to implement this feature?

Thanks,

Nathan
