Axiom based XML Security Implemenation
--------------------------------------
Key: WSCOMMONS-441
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSCOMMONS-441
Project: WS-Commons
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Saliya Ekanayake
Attachments: thomara.zip
Apache Axis2 has proven its performance over other Web services engines over
the past couple of years. Its success mainly comes through the usage of Apache
Axiom, which is an XML infoset model based on the StAX API. Axis2, however,
handles Web services security by means of the Apache Rampart which in turn
depends on DOM based implementations of XML security and WS-Security. The main
deficiency of this is the performance loss due to object model conversion.
Therefore, it is mandatory to come up with an Axiom based security
implementation to regain the performance of Axis2 in the case of handling
secured messages.
The zip file included in the JIRA contains a completely Axiom based
implementation of XML Security which implements the following two
specifications.
1. XML Encryption Syntax and Processing at http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlenc-core/
2. XML Signature Syntax and Processing (Second Edition) at
http://www.w3.org/TR/xmldsig-core/
Thus, it would be useful for the Apache community and for others who use Axis2
to have this code under Apache. A WS-Security implementation based on Axiom
could follow up on top of this afterwards to fulfi the requirement of an Axiom
based security implementation.
Thanks,
Saliya
