> Can someone explain the relationship of the code to Axiom? This xml security implementation (thomara) uses Axiom as the object model which keeps the xml infoset. This is to overcome the issues like memory wastage which exists in DOM based implementations.

Rampart and Rampart2 differs only on the Axiom usage and architectural improvements in the WS-Security implementation of Rampart2. Other than that, the APIs of Rampart and Rampart2 are almost the same. Therefore I think CXF can't use Rampart2 directly.
