Description

This task is to take advantage of a new feature in WSS4J 1.6, which allows a Callback to be used when processing a security header to supply a DOM Element:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-257

This task is to write a Callback implementation for CXF so that we delay converting the SOAP Body to DOM unless WSS4J asks us for it. The SOAP headers are already converted to DOM, so this will potentially enable us to make some efficiency savings in processing WS-Security enabled messages, where the SOAP Body is large.
