When i tried to call the service i am getting exception as

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
   <soap:Body>
      <soap:Fault>
         <faultcode xmlns:ns1="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd">ns1:MessageExpired</faultcode>
         <faultstring>The message has expired</faultstring>
      </soap:Fault>
   </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

Can any one tell me where i am making mistake?

Answer 1

I suspect this is a bug in earlier version of wss4j. If you are parsing the date using SimpleDateFormat, you might want to set the time zone to UTC (Zulu time).

sdf.setTimeZone("UTC");

This however has been fixed in 2.0-beta.

http://grepcode.com/file/repo1.maven.org/maven2/org.apache.wss4j/wss4j-ws-security-dom/2.0-beta/org/apache/wss4j/dom/message/token/UsernameToken.java#226

Edit: This is not a bug in wss4j. The specification states that the time zone must be in UTC.
