I'm creating a web service using Axis2 which uses Rampart for
authentication. In all the samples for Rampart, the client needs to have a
client side repository for Axis2. Rampart is started on the client as
follows:
ConfigurationContext ctx =
ConfigurationContextFactory.createConfigurationContextFromFileSystem("path/to/client/repo",
null);
SecureServiceStub stub = new
SecureServiceStub(ctx,"https://localhost:8443/axis2/services/SecureService";);
ServiceClient sc = stub._getServiceClient();
sc.engageModule("rampart");
The method createConfigurationContextFromFileSystem needs a path to an Axis2
repo on the client which has the rampart.mar file. It apparently needs a
full absolute path, not a relative path. However, I'm deploying my client
with Java Web Start and I can't put a Axis2 repo on every machine that may
need to run the client. It needs to work from any machine from a web browser
so everything the client needs to be in the jar. Is there any way I can load
the rampart.mar file from the jar of my client app. Another possibility
would be using the
ConfigurationContextFactory.createConfigurationContextFromURIs method, but
this would require me to create an online repo of axis2+rampart on the
server. Anyone know of a good guide for this? I still would prefer to just
package everything in the jar.
