Timestamp validation in ws-security
-----------------------------------

                 Key: CXF-3208
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-3208
             Project: CXF
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: WS-* Components
    Affects Versions: 2.3.1
         Environment: Windows XP running Glassfish 2.1 server.  Running a 
simple web service with ws-timestamp set. Using SOAPUI 3.6.1 to create SOAP 
request messages to validate with the Glassfish 2.1 server using CXF 2.3.1. 
            Reporter: David Morris


Validation issues during testing:

The timestamp in ws-security can be future dated and will be accepted as valid 
in a SOAP soap response message.
The creation date can be greater than the expiration date and be accepted as 
valid in a SOAP response message.

This is important to resolve re-play attacks to resolve a security loop hole 
that can be exploited.

Examples of SOAP requests message return soap response messages as valid when 
in fact should throw a soap fault:
