Hi,

Thanks Sandeep for information. Dear group please share if you people come
across some good practical stuff on this WebServices security. Now a days
even the developers and the top level management are aware of the security
concerns and they do hide the WSDL file by thinking it is a secure approach.
But in the backend, the vulnerabilities still exists in the form of XML etc.

The following 2 links are helpful theoretically to an extent :
