Axis2 and OpenSAML

Question

I'm trying to add SAML assertions to a SOAP web service that is built on the axis2 engine. I'm having a little trouble wrapping my head around how the two would interact. Could someone help point me in the right direction to add a SAML assertion to a response message from Axis2?

Thanks, Tom

You'll need to include the rampart module as an extra module. The relevent section for configuring SAML support appears to be here

If you want more platform support then I'd recommend deploying your web service onto the Web services application server produced by the authors of Axis2. It has GUI driven screens that assist in configuring the Rampart module.
