Hi all, As we all know there are some performance issues with Rampart as the security module for Axis2. The main cause of this issue is the usage of DOM in wss4j (http://ws.apache.org/wss4j/) and xmlsec ( http://santuario.apache.org/index.html) on which Rampart is written. Therefore as a research project, four of us (Sameera Jayasoma, Saliya Ekanayake, Kalani Ruwanpathirana and myself) have implemented a WS-Security implementation totally on Axiom. It consists of two layers and the bottom layer handles the xml security stuff. So we thought of adding this Axiom based xml securiy implementation as a new ws-commons project.
Saliya has already created a jira at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSCOMMONS-441 and the source code is attached to the jira. This code is already tested and provides the same functionality as xmlsec with better performance. We have decided to use the name "thomara" for this and I'm planning to commit this code at https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/webservices/commons/trunk/modules/thomara. Comments please?.. Thanks, Isuru
