Do you have a schedule to update the imports to the jakarta namespace?

looks like you will have to transform wsss4j jar to jakarta using eclipse jakarta transformer:

Eclipse Transformer. The Eclipse Transformer project is part of the Eclipse Technology top-level project.. Eclipse Transformer provides tools and runtime components that transform Java binaries, such as individual class files and complete JARs and WARs, mapping changes to Java packages, type names, and related resource names.

Eclipse Transformer

The Eclipse Transformer project<https://github.com/eclipse/transformer> converts the namespace of the compiled Java resources. Also, JAR artifacts as WAR and EAR files containing entire applications are supported. The project is generic in the sense that it can handle all kinds of conversions and not only the one related to the changes for Jakarta EE 9.

Using this transformer project, you can create an updated version of the JAR file that you use as a dependency in your application. And when making use of the Maven Classifier feature, you can convert a JAR file in your local maven repository and the Jakarta transformed version can easily be picked up.

The release of Jakarta EE 9 breaks a tradition of Java Enterprise. A legal requirement of the Java EE code donation from Oracle to the Eclipse Foundation is the change of the namespace of javax to jakarta.. But the change of the package and XML namespace in Jakarta EE 9 is only the beginning.

<path_to_local_mvn_repo>/⁨org⁩/apache/ws/security⁩/1.6.19⁩/wss4j-1.6.19.jar
<path_to_local_mvn_repo>/⁨org⁩/apache/ws/security⁩/1.6.19⁩/wss4j-1.6.19-jakarta.jar

java org.eclipse.transformer.Transformer Input Output  command, you create a converted JAR file that can be picked up by Maven very easily by just adding the classifier element to the dependency:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.ws.security</groupId>
    <artifactId>wss4j</artifactId>
    <version>1.6.19</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
<classifier>jakarta</classifier>
</dependency>
once your wss4j-1.6.19.jar is converted to jakarta specific wss4j-1.6.19-jakarta.jar

then reference the jakarta-specific wss4j-1.6.19-jakarta.jar using classifier  of 'jakarta' as seen in dependency declaration above

CLEAR ?

I don't see that wss4j-1.6.17 is referencing to any jakarta archives or apis.
I see that wss4j-2.3.0 does, however we are looking for a version where
the imports in the project classes are updated to use the jakarta namespace.
Is there a plan for that?

does 1.6.17 for RH v1 not work for you?

Wildfly components requires a jakarta namespace version of org.apache.wss4j:wss4j.
What are the plans for providing such a version?
