WebServiceContext.getUserPrincipal returns "ANONYMOUS" when using mutual authentication

I've used this guide to create a CA and key/trust stores but instead of creating .p12 files for clients, I've used the "SETTING UP YOUR WEB SERVER" section to create a keystore for each client that I need to authenticate.

How can I get a Post with XML-RPC in Wordpress?

After some digging around with the Wordpress XML-RPC documentation, it seems that there isn't a way to remotely obtain a "post" (such as a news article) through the XML-RPC interface.

Problem passing simple string parameter to .net webservice

SOAP Web services: object aliasing in response?

If a web service returns an object graph where some objects appear multiple times, will the data about these objects necessarily be duplicated in the transport format? Put differently: With Java serialization, each object's state is written only once, and subsequent references to that object are mere pointers within the serialization st...

I am creating a new web service for an application and am currently designing the web methods for each service. I have noticed that there is no real different in my case between create and save except that save requires an ID and create does not. The Java services API has both.
