Hi, I am creating a simple client program in java to talk with the Server that has the WS security enabled. I am new to Axis2, Rampart.
the developer who implemented the WS security on server gave me a wsdl file and told me that the he used the Rampart module for security. So first of all, I downloaded the wsdl file and downloaded Axis2 / Java ... then I used wsdl2java tool to create java classes from wsdl file. I also downloaded the Rampart module and then copied all the libs together (axis 2 and rampart libs) and added in the classpath of my client project in eclipse. Then he said follow 3 steps to start communicating with server: 1) Engage rampart module 2) load policy to set the property of the stub that gets created in wsdl2java classes 3) set the key in a property of the stub. So I created first of all a Configurationcontext pointing to the location where Rampart and Axis2 repositories are located. ConfigurationContext ctx = ConfigurationContextFactory.createConfigurationContextFromFileSystem("C:\\axis2-1.5.4\\repository", null); Then instantiated the stub ObjectWSStub ObjectStub = new ObjectWSStub(ctx, targetEndpoint); where targetEndpoint is the URL of the server where security is enabled. Then I am engaging the module: ObjectStub._getServiceClient().engageModule("rampart"); And then setting the property for policy: ObjectStub._getServiceClient().getOptions().setProperty(RampartMessageData.KEY_RAMPART_POLICY, loadPolicy("policy.xml")) where loadPolicy is as follows and policy.xml is the piece of policy code that I separated out from the wsdl file that the developer provided. private static Policy loadPolicy(String name) throws Exception { StAXOMBuilder builder = new StAXOMBuilder(name); return PolicyEngine.getPolicy(builder.getDocumentElement()); } Now the question is where and how do I set the key ? I have the key .. its just that I dont know where and how to set. Please help. Thanks.
