Body signature generation ignores data source request payloads

                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAMPARTC-154
             Project: Rampart/C
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: OMXMLSecurity
    Affects Versions: 1.3.0
         Environment: Linux (all distributions)
            Reporter: Garrett Holmstrom

In our web services implementation, we generate Axis/2c code with WSDL2C and 
use rampart/c as a module. On the server and client side we require that all 
SOAP requests contain timestamps and signed request bodies. However, we found 
that enabling signature checking of <Body> elements in the policy:

<sp:SignedParts xmlns:sp="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/07/securitypolicy";>
        <sp:Body/>
</sp:SignedParts>
 
...results in all requests being rejected by the receiver due to signature 
verification failure. After investigation, we found that requests generated by 
the auto-generated Axis/2C code contained signatures over an empty <Body>, i.e. 
all its payload was ignored during element signing. On the other hand, when the 
request was received, the entire <Body> was checked against the signature. We 
determined that the problem is due to the fact that rampart/c code ignores the 
payloads of requests with type AXIOM_DATA_SOURCE.

Attached is a patch that makes the checksum include the bodies of such requests 
when they are generated.
