There's lots of options open to you for authentication these days, if the
portal framework is too huge, consider using flowscript to handle the
flow through the login pages perhaps. 

If flowscript is too heavy or you're using an older version of cocoon, then 
at one stage I had a LoginSelector based on the switch style selector.

For making SOAP calls in Cocoon from Java code, you can use any SOAP library
like Axis for example. Axis gives you a programmatical API to the request
and response. Alternatively, you could also have a look at the use of the 
XScriptObject (I think it's called this) inside of the generated XSP
page in your current code and use that.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,

Marcus
