Hi,
I want to create a digital signature of a soap message. Therefore I got to
 come up with the canonical form of the xml message. Does anybody know if this
 functionality is implemented in any SUN package? The canonicalization should
 follow the Canonical XML Version 1.0 of the w3.org (see
 http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-xml-c14n-20010315).

I guess there will be a API-solution from sun following the java specification
 request for xml digital signatures (see http://jcp.org/jsr/detail/105.html).
But for now I got to sign SOAP manually in a SOAPMessageHandler using
 SOAPElement API and JCE - or does anybody know a better way?

thanx for any suggestions,
Mischa
