SOAP SSL connection

Hi,

I have to provide a SSL connection between a Apache SOAP client (using
tomcat 3.2) and a IIS SOAP service (4s4c, Simon Fell). The HTTP
connection works well. Now I have different problems or questions:

* Can the keytool described at
http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/docs/tooldocs/solaris/keytool.html
be used to create keys and certificates for the SOAP client (Apache)
**and** the SOAP server (IIS, ASP file)?

* Is there an other possibility to set up IIS and Apache SOAP client to
use SSL (HTTPS)?

* Are code changes on client side necessary? - If yes, which?

* Will there be problems using an application as client of a SOAP
service **and** as server (Tomcat), both with SSL encryption?

* (Where) can be found a comprehensive article oder guide concerning
that questions?

TIA
