If your server application is a J2EE web application, just configure your application server security service (the realm in Tomcat for example), to handle your client certificates, and just use the principal and roles in your web service server code. For the client code, i suppose you have to set up your HTTPS connection with the right keystore and ssl factory... In my opinion, your web service client code should not be aware of this security aspects, as it just use the endpoint URL to address requests, with no security or network knowledge... -- Ephemeris Lappis
