I am developing a java client to connect to a web service which uses SOAP. In Intellij 

TOOLS>GENERATE JAVA CODE FROM WSDL

has generated the stubs and I have connected to the insecure endpoint.

I now need to sign and encrypt the message body with a public certificate. I have read about Axis, CXF, WSS4J and Glassfish but I am still unclear which of these packages I would use?

  • Using a certificate in a soap request is a little tricky, See this link for some pointers https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1666052/java-https-client-certificate-authentication – Mike Murphy Jan 16 '18 at 20:46
  • @MikeMurphy thanks - that SO refers to SSL security rather than SOAP message body encryption/signing. – Radika Moonesinghe Jan 16 '18 at 20:59
  • SSL uses a certificate to encrypt the complete message content not just the body. This link explains how it works. http://info.ssl.com/article.aspx?id=10241. Are you thinking of a "do it yourself" solution to encrypt the message body only? – Mike Murphy Jan 17 '18 at 13:18
