WSS4J & StaX
------------
Key: WSS-28
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-28
Project: WSS4J
Type: Improvement
Environment: Any
Reporter: Kevin Fung
Assigned to: Davanum Srinivas
Currently WSSecurityEngine uses DOM API in the processSecurityHeader()
function. Can it also support StAX API?
There are many WS-Security scenarios (e.g. signature action only) that only the
SOAP header needs to be processed or minimal portion of the SOAP body needs to
be processed. In these scenarios, parsing the entire SOAP envelope into a DOM
before the WSSecurityEngine is used seems to incur unecessary overhead,
especially when the SOAP body is large. Since the SOAP header for WS-Security
is well defined, StAX API can be very efficiently used to process only the
WS-Security related elements.
