Avoid converting the SOAP Body to DOM on the processing side if possible
------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: WSS-257
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-257
             Project: WSS4J
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 1.5.10
            Reporter: Colm O hEigeartaigh
            Assignee: Colm O hEigeartaigh
             Fix For: 1.6




On an inbound request, WSS4J currently iterates through each security token in 
the security header and processes each one. However it also requires the entire 
SOAP request be converted into a DOM structure, even though it might not be 
necessary to access the SOAP body as part of processing the security header, 
e.g. processing a Timestamp, or a Username Token.

This task is to enhance WSS4J on the processing side, so that it does not 
require access to the SOAP body. If it needs to find an element in the SOAP 
request, it should use a callback mechanism, to obtain e.g. the SOAP body if 
required. This mechanism could potentially provide support for signed MTOM. 
WSS4J should supply a default implementation that more or less parallels the 
current implementation. CXF/Rampart etc. could define their own callback 
implementations for their specific needs.

The callback class could look something like:

public abstract class LookupCallbacks {
//for the wsu:ID, get the element
Element getElementForID(Object msgContext, String i) {
   return null;
}

//for processing of MTOM things eventually
InputStream getAttachment(Object msgContext, String contentId) {
   return null;
}
}
