Hi everyone.

I've got a program that I'm developing/extending.  Currently its internet capable - but not secure.

Currently its using Apache SOAP (which is ancient) + Tomcat + Eclipse + Java 1.4/1.5.

In alot of my other development I'm using Visual Studio 2005 for PDA/other development, so I'm also looking for a SOAP implementation which will allow interoperation with .NET.

Now I'm trying to make a transition from HTTP to HTTPS and at the same time SOAP -> Axis/JavaWS 2.0.  Does this sound like a good strategy?  We have a rich client which I must assume that every hacker would have access too.  This means I can't have a the WebService username/password in the code....

Can anyone give me any hints or tutorials about this?  I've done a lot of hunting and its been sofar quite unsuccessful.

It seems like Eclipse prefers Axis and Netbeans prefers JavaWS.  Is that possible?

Thanks for your help

Martin
