> Apache Axis2 has proven its performance over other Web services engines over the past couple of years. Its success mainly comes through the usage of Apache Axiom, which is an XML infoset model based on the StAX API. Axis2, however, handles Web services security by means of the Apache Rampart which in turn depends on DOM based implementations of XML security and WS-Security. The main deficiency of this is the performance loss due to object model conversion. Therefore, it is mandatory to come up with an Axiom based security implementation to regain the performance of Axis2 in the case of handling secured messages. 
> The zip file included in the JIRA contains a completely Axiom based implementation of XML Security which implements the following two specifications.
> 1. XML Encryption Syntax and Processing at http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlenc-core/
> 2. XML Signature Syntax and Processing (Second Edition) at http://www.w3.org/TR/xmldsig-core/
> Thus, it would be useful for the Apache community and for others who use Axis2 to have this code under Apache. A WS-Security implementation based on Axiom could follow up on top of this afterwards to fulfi the requirement of an Axiom based security implementation.
> Thanks,
> Saliya
