Because it's not something everyone wants to do with Axis, it's an example of an extension to Axis.
There's likely to be a lot more of this (we hope!) as we move into the future - Axis is an etensible engine which can be used as-is or built out to provide more complex functionality. We'd like to be able to ship a lot of Modules/Handlers/extensions (see recent thread about Features/Modules/Bindings) with the "full" package but not force everyone to download/use all of them. Some of these extensions will want to move into the "baseline" package, and we'll need to decide how we deal with that. --Glen > -----Original Message----- > From: Cédric Chabanois [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, December 13, 2002 8:23 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: digital signatures and security > > > Why are handlers for digital signature in samples.security > package instead > of org.apache.axis.handlers package ? > > > > Cédric Chabanois >
