Can I use WS-Security (Rampart module) in my servlet app?

[Greg Stasica <gs...@googlemail.com>]

hi,

I've a web application which exposes its WS using Axis2 servlet. Now I need
to provide some security for my web services and the first thing which comes
to my mind is Rampart module WS-Security. The problem (at least this is how
I see it) is that Rampart module can be used only when it has been enabled
for a system e.i. any application which want to make any use of it
(WS-Security) has to be bundled in Axis2 AAR file and deployed on AXIS2
server. That said, my application can't use Rampart module as it's a regular
servlet. How could I have WS-Security enabled for my application ? Does it
mean that I would need to implement my WS from the scratch and deploy it as
a separate application on AXIS2 server ?

how you have exposed web services with your axis2 servlet based web app if
you don't use aar files.

thanks,
Amila.
