Move TTL validation to the TimestampProcessor
---------------------------------------------

                 Key: WSS-186
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-186
             Project: WSS4J
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: WSS4J Handlers
    Affects Versions: 1.5.7
            Reporter: Colm O hEigeartaigh
            Assignee: Colm O hEigeartaigh
             Fix For: 1.6



In WSS4J 1.5.7, the TimestampProcessor only validates the "Expires" element of 
the Timestamp if it exists (and only throws an Exception if 
WSHandlerConstants.TIMESTAMP_STRICT is set (default to true)). The application 
code must then call WSHandler.verifyTimestamp(int TTL) to actually verify the 
TTL on the TImestamp. This is a potential security hole, as all validation 
should be done when processing the Timestamp.

So I propose to deprecate WSHandler.verifyTimestamp in 1.6, and instead do the 
TTL validation in the TimestampProcessor. This involves adding a new variable 
to WSSConfig (to specify the TTL).
