wss4j is still beta software, but I suggest that you start your work
using it rather than trying to write your own module from scratch.

If you aren't willing to use beta software in production, then I
suggest that you consider using one or more of the following
commercial products:
- a commercial web services platform (WSP) that provides native
support for WS-Security, such as Microsoft .NET/WSE, IBM WebSphere,
BEA WebLogic, Oracle 10g, Systinet Server, etc.
- a third party software-based web services management (WSM) product,
such as Actional, AmberPoint, Blue Titan, Oblix, SOA Software, etc.
- a third party hardware-based WSM product, such as DataPower, Forum
Systems, Layer 7, Reactivity, Sarvega, etc.

All these products support XML encryption and signature, use
WS-Security SOAP headers, and follow the WS-Security processing model.
You would use a WSP in place of Axis. The WSM products can work with
Axis. The hardware based solutions provide the advantage of XML
processing acceleration, and many of them also provide PKI key
management.
