Since Release 2.1.0, Spring WS no longer contains the class SpringPlainTextPasswordValidationCallbackHandler (although it is still documented in the online API docs !)

The release notes for 2.1.0 state that the new class SpringSecurityPasswordValidationCallbackHandler should be used as a replacement, but SpringSecurityPasswordValidationCallbackHandler does not provide the possibility to plug-in an AuthenticationManager. So there is currently no way to authenticate against a hashed password. See also this post for details: http://forum.springsource.org/showth...716#post418716

There is still no solution in 2.1.1. Any suggestions? Am I missing something? Thanks in advance!
