Thanks Dims, Ruchith.

I just had a look in Axis2 security handler, looks very nice
indeed. Also the parameter structurce looks much nicer
than in Axis1 :-).

Seems that I need to get maven to get Axis2 up and running
on my system.

Just one small question: When doing a "repetition"
aka HandlerChaining there is a call to
msgContext.getEnvelope().build() even in the case there
is a repetition and the enevelope may not be ready yet. Isn't
that an overhead (I'm not familiar with the way Axis2 sets up
it internal structures)?

Regards,
Werner
