WSS4J really contains the security handling code, based on a DOM view
of the SOAP messages. Rampart contains the bridging logic from the
Axis2 module/handler model to that code. And something called DOOM
(DOM over Axiom) provides the DOM interface to the Axis2 messages.

PS the code in wss4j is org.apache.ws.axis.* which is actually
something different to org.apache.axis.* AFAIK

Hi,

I've been digging around the source code of wss4j (the WS-Security library used 
by Rampart), and there's something very fundamental I don't understand.

As far as I know, I've got the most recent versions of these (axis2 1.2, wss4j 
1.5.2). The strange thing is, wss4j seems to use the older axis 1 libraries, 
with package names like org.apache.axis.*, whereas axis2 has package names like 
org.apache.axis2.*.

I would expect to get a lot of ClassNotFound exceptions, but it seems to work 
fine. Is there some strange trickery going on, or am I just confused?

Thanks
Michael Davis
