Java client using CXF to call x509 secure Wservice

I am looking for a post on using CXF to generate stub code and connect to a
secure (x509) service.

I am trying to do the same thing now with a Weblogic web service (but who
cares if its weblogic really, for all intents and purposes, its some web
service in a cloud with an x509 cert auth requirement)

I have the key... have added it to my keystore. I just am trying to use a
main method to call the service.... But to no avail and cant find a good
example.

FYI: I am not using HTTPS!!!, only using certs for authentication, not
encryption...  its point to point so I don't care about encryption (plus I
know how to do that already).

The samples that come with CXF DL only go into using HTTPS for encryption...
again, not what I need.

Any examples, links, or pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks
AJ

Technically, Axis 1 supports JAX-RPC.   Axis 2 does not.

All of that really depends.   Some of the older toolkits from MS did  
support the "wrapped doc/lit" stuff which would work with the modern  
toolkits as well.   I'm definitely not a MS person so I'm not familiar  
with all the details, but if you can get your services using the  
wrapped doc/lit stuff, you're definitely much better off.   Most of  
the older JAX-RPC toolkits also supported the wrapped doc/lit stuff as  
well.   The BEA stuff might.   I don't really know.

Well AXIS supports JAX-RPC, so I could use that in lieu of CXF for now.  

Also: 

1.) (I know this isnt a BEA board), but does that mean I'd have issues with
inter-op as well (calling BEA WS from a .Net client)?  I cant seem to get
that working either, but since you seem to have knowledge of BEA, I thought
Id through it out to you...  

2.) to make this second post a CXF user board qualifying post, have there
been inter-op issues calling .Net service (pre-WCF) since I believe they are
RPC as well?

Thanks
AJ

Not necessarily unfortunately--as far as its security features go, BEA
WebLogic is a JAX-RPC implementation (read caution at the tops of [1]
and [2]), while CXF is JAX-WS, so YMMV.  We are grappling with that at
work right now, and I unfortunately don't have any answers yet.
