RE: Spring WS security

[vskumaran]

We are evaulating to use either Spring-WS or Axis2 for developing a web service.
The web service will be also consumed by .NET clients.

There is a concern that Spring-WS might be incompatible with .NET web services as it uses Sun XWSS as the WS-Security implementation.

Has anyone has faced any security issues of consuming Spring-WS (using WS-Secutity ) with .NET. Has anyone used Spring-WS for .NET applications successively.

Thanks for your response.

I haven't but it shouldn't take you long to write a test harness ;-)

XWSS is compatible with .NET, AFAIK. Note that the .NET side does need either WSE 2.0 or 3.0, or WCF.

Additionally, in 1.5 M2 we've added a security framework based on WSS4J (the same security engine Axis uses). So from a security perspective, there is no reason why Axis is more interoperable.
