Hi Matthew, off the top of my head, you will need a separate XML
configuration file for configuring your "client"/outgoing messages.
Then pass that through to the configuration context, instead of the file
you have for your server. Thus your incoming security to your middle
man web service uses the configuration details in your services.xml
file, and the messages then get packaged up with the security
configurations in your axis2-client.xml file. You can either create a
new serviceClient for every request that comes through or implement some
type of pooling mechanism for the service clients (as creating a service
client is an expensive operation). You will also need to consider
whether the messages that you are sending through to the back end
service all use the same authentication credentials or if these
credentials are derived from the incoming messages your middle man receives.
ConfigurationContext context =
ConfigurationContextFactory.createConfigurationContextFromFileSystem(
repositoryPath,
repositoryPath + "/conf/axis2-client.xml");
ServiceStub service =
new ServiceStub( context, serviceEndpoint);
If this was my project however, I'd use an Apache Synapse mediator as
your middle man instead of writing an Axis 2 service. You may want to
consider that, as it will end up being simpler to manage.
cheers,
Ants.

Hi there,
I have an axis2 service that is actually just a middle man. It
exposes some services, but really it just does some small amount of
work and passes the service request on to another service.
As a result, I have some of the classes (the client connection
classes) from the back end service in my middle man service. This has
not been a problem so far, but now I am trying to secure the
communication with rampart and I am having some trouble working out
how I can set the inflow and outflow of the communications with the
back end service. For the back end service itself, there is not
problem, but where to I put configuration setting for the back end
client that is embedded in the middle man?
