Description

Hi,

CXF-rt-ws-security 3.0.3 is working with wss4j of version:

<cxf.wss4j.version>2.0.2</cxf.wss4j.version>

an xmlsec version of version:

<cxf.xmlsec.bundle.version>2.0.2</cxf.xmlsec.bundle.version>

and open SAML of version:

<cxf.opensaml.version>2.6.1</cxf.opensaml.version>

that is problematic as from one hand CXF 3.0.3 is dependent on XMLSEC version 2.+ and throws multiple no method exist exceptions when working with 1.5.5 XMLSEC versions
and on the other hand the latest open SAML which is the CXF open saml version (2.6.1) fails on validating the SAML token when working with XMLSEC version 2.*

so actually when working with both CXF 3 and OPEN SAML 2.6.1
this will happen
when working with xmlsec 1.5.* OPEN SAML works CXF fails
when working with xmlsec 2.0.* CXF works OPEN SAML fails...

you can see under open saml 2.6.1 that it holds xmlsec version 1.5.6 which is overrided by CXF and wss4j (2.0.2)

can you please help me figure out a way to overcome this issue?
