Hi Matteo,

I'd think you'd be better off using WS-SecurityPolicy configurations for
your security handling. If the security policy configurations are
reasonably simple (which sounds like your case) and clean they should
work across a range of stacks.

You can see my article discussing CXF WS-SecurityPolicy basics for a
starting point: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-jws13.html
