Because of the issues I discussed in the 'Bug in Cipher class?' thread, I'd 
love to see:

1. Don't require a keystore file if the user just wants to use a secret key 
specified in a callback or config setting. This requires two small changes in 
the WSHandler class. This allows users to deploy web services in self-contained 
ear files that don't require configuring a keystore.

2. Allow the user to specify using a lightweight API such as BouncyCastle's 
intead of the JCE interface, which in my experience is problematic on 
WebSphere. (This also requires a change in the xml-security library.)

cheers,
