I've been trying to get the new 2.4.0 release to work in a project that I'm
using that uses WS-Security and WS-SecurityPolicy in a WSDL-First SOAP
service, and I am getting a signature verification failure:

Caused by: org.apache.ws.security.WSSecurityException: The signature or

It's quite possible that I'm missing something (e.g. relating to how WSS4J
1.6 needs to be configured vs WSSJ 1.5, for instance), or this could be a
bug of some kind.

Any help would be appreciated; I've uploaded sample code that exhibits this
problem to:

http://software-entropy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/ws-security-bug.2.3.4.zip
http://software-entropy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/ws-security-bug.2.4.0.zip

Both of these are simple maven projects based on Glen Mazza's blog-posts
about how to build a WS-Security-enabled service with CXF.  You'll need to
do a "mvn clean install" from the parent module and then first a "mvn
jetty:run" (or deploy the war to your favorite container) in the service-war
module and, while it's running, a "mvn exec:exec" in the client module.  For
me, this works fine for the 2.3.4 version of the code, but fails for the
2.4.0 version of the code; everything aside from the CXF dependency version
is the same between the two zip files.

Thanks.

(yes, this is a repost, with a different and potentially easier-to-use
example; I've been unable to find a solution for this).
