Signing XML

[bruno.arruda]

Hi mates,

First forgive my english cause I do not use it very much.

I´m kinda new to WebServices at all. Im working on a project that need to integrate two systems, the client using .NET and the server using JAVA(J2EE). I use JBOSS 4.02 and I´ve successfully build and deployed a WebService based on a Session Bean. Allright, we made the project and everything was working nice untill the client requested that the communication shoul be with XML signed. I´ve been searching on the web for some time to find some material to guide me how to do it in my scenario scope but I could´nt find anything well documented to help me . I found a few examples about validating a XML signature, but the problem is that as I made my WebService on JBOSS and its encapsulates the AXIS server, I couldnt find a way to have direct access to the XML message. The problem is that I dont have access to the XML signed message and I dont know how to configure JBOSS to work with XML sign. Please let me know if im not beeing clearly enought.The problem is that im very lost and I need your help to show me the way, stay with EJB implementation? change to axis implementation? What do you guys suggest?


Thank you very much.
Regards

The easiest would be to switch to jbossws and use ws-security to sign your messages.

Well, 'easy' is a broad term. It of course depends on your project ...

[bruno.arruda]

yeah, 'easy' is not a broad term at all.

Now i see that using a EJB as a webservice was a big mistake.
Well, thanks for the try.
