Many thanks,

do you mean the files in the installation folder (eg. axis2.xml) or requests
coming to server.

for former case AFAIK the only solution is to protect the folder using some
OS level security. For later
as Srinath has said either we can use https or ws-security.

thanks,
Amila.

You have two choices , https,
(http://ws.apache.org/axis2/1_5/http-transport.html#httpsupport) and
Message level security (WS-Secuirty see Rampart) .
