Thanks Paul, Yes, the wss4j code does contain org.apache.ws.axis* packages, but three classes in wss4j depend on org.apache.axis.* classes.
I just realized that only 3 classes in wss4j depend on the old axis, and the code I was running through Rampart didn't use those classes, which is why I didn't get the error. cheers, md > -----Original Message----- > From: Paul Fremantle [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, July 09, 2007 7:05 PM > To: axis-user@ws.apache.org > Subject: Re: wss4j and axis2? > > > Michael > > WSS4J really contains the security handling code, based on a DOM view > of the SOAP messages.
