All,

I have spent quite some time  looking for the best means and how to secure
(encrypt and authenicate) web services using Glassfish 3.1.  I am using
Eclipse as the IDE (I have found a few examples using Netbeans).  Also most
of the information seems out of date, thus not sure of that technolgoy to
use.

I have a web service that returns confiuraiton information for a java client
app running on Glassfish 3.1.  This "client appliaction" is just a command
line java utility that runs as a daemon or widows service.   It connects to
the "config server" over the internet to downloads its setting needed to
run.   Of course this needs to be encryped (which I have working via
https).  Now I need to get authenication working and would like to use mutal
certificates or if there is something better.

I am not sure what is the best (and current) technology  WSIT, WSS, Message
Security, etc  (Being a newbie to this,  not sure which and why)

Once that is decieded then the next when is how (not not using Netbeans),
examples? 

Thanks!
