It is important to note the SAML is not a proprietary headers (it is hosted at Oasis http://xml.coverpages.org/saml.html).
Coming to your question, it is possible to do that using SAAJ api and Messaging style service. only problem would be that you would have to handle the processing of xml internal (can use JAXB). Currenlty, Ws-security is working on the direction of putting SAML assertion inside soapheader.(http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=wss) >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 6/20/2003 2:01:12 PM >>> > We are considering of introducing axis based web services, as an interop > solution for the interface into our product.

Is it too much of a demand on web services? If your ultimate goal is interoperability, then you'd better steer clear from introducing proprietary headers. -- ________________________________________________________________ Wilfred Springer Phone : +31 (0)3 3451 5736 Java Architect Mobile : +31 (0)6 2295 7321 Sun Java Center Fax : +31 (0)3 3451 5734 Sun Microsystems Netherlands Mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED]
