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)?
