> Our WSS4J In/Out interceptors[1][2] do not appear to be requiring UsernameTokens to have timestamps and nonces.  From [3], lines 176-190, these are used to prevent replay attacks (i.e., an intruder just copying the entire soap header, encrypted or not, and reusing it for another request).  
> To fix this problem, this blog sample[4] created a separate interceptor that will reject any UsernameToken that does not have both a timestamp and a nonce.  Perhaps we should update our WSS4J in/out interceptors to require both of these, so external users don't need to do this.
> A question though--I'm unsure where the nonce-checking is being done--our WSS4J interceptors seem to be ignoring them, but perhaps WSS4J is doing the checking/validation that they are not being used more then once.
