Hello, the release notes for CXF 2.1.5[1] state a need to externally download
BouncyCastle 1.4 for WSS, but no mention of BouncyCastle is given in the
Release Notes in CXF 2.2.1[2].  I've also noticed that BouncyCastle 1.5 is
already available in both the CXF 2.1.5 and the CXF 2.2.1 downloads (lib
folder).  

[The 2.1.5 Notes say: "To use the WS-Security features of CXF, you need to
obtain a JCE crypto provider
that implements the algorithms that you plan to use. One option is to
download
the Bouncy Castle jar from: 
http://bouncycastle.org/download/bcprov-jdk14-136.jar
and add that to the lib directory or classpath."]

I'm not sure what (if anything) to read into the fact that the above text is
not there for CXF 2.2.  Was it omitted to say that no external JCE provider
is needed anymore with WS-Security (perhaps the Sun defaults are now
sufficient), or was it omitted simply because it should have been omitted
earlier, i.e., no special download is needed because it's already in CXF's
lib folder?

Thanks,
Glen
