CXF 2.2 introduced support for using WS-SecurityPolicy to configure WSS4J instead of the custom configuration documented on the WS-Security page. However, all of the "background" material on the WS-Security page still applies and is important to know. WS-SecurityPolicy just provides an easier and more standards based way to configure and control the security requirements. With the security requirements documented in the WSDL as WS-Policy fragments, other tools such as .NET can easily know how to configure themselves to inter-operate with CXF services.

Note: at this point, WS-SecurityPolicy support is ONLY available for "WSDL first" scenarios. The WS-SecurityPolicy fragments can only be pulled from WSDL. In the future, we plan to enable various code first scenarios as well, but at this time, only WSDL first is available.
