Integrating Spring Security with Apache CXF SOAP based web service

In this section, let's create a SOAP-based web service. We will demonstrate the integration of Spring Security with Apache CXF SOAP-based web service.

• Add the CXF-SOAP dependency to the pom file.

• Add Spring Security-based dependency to the pom file.

• Set up a SOAP-based web service with interface and an Impl class.

• Configure the spring-security.xml file.

  • streambuffer.jar

  • stax-ex

  • jaxws-ap-2.1

  • jaxws-rt
