Hello together!

As a new apache user I try to receive some information about using webservices with apache. My system consists of KUBUNTU 12.04 and APACHE2.2.

Can I use the standard apache2.2 instalation on linux for sending XML messages over a websvice with https and for signing the body of the XML messages using the WS-Security-Standard, or do I need to install any apache moduls or frameworks like axis2 or cxf?
My goal is to keep the system as simple as possible, id est using a framework only if it is necessary.

Thank you for your attention,

ATILIUS

The standard config is fine. Only the software you run on apache might make it unsecure.
Can you send XML messages with vanilla apache? Depends on your software Wink

The problem is that the body of the XML messages needs to be signed using the WS-Security-Standard by the web server. Currently, I am checking cxf for this purpose, but I wonder, if there is an easier solution.

At least the definition seems that it is not that easy
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/WS-Security

The only free server I know is http://ws.apache.org/wss4j/ that supports that. Good luck!
