We are in the process of evaulating which SOAP library to accompany openSAML.

I have always though that openSAML was totally independent of a soap library, interfacing the soap library with a DOM object, XML stream or string. But today I was told that openSAML contains a SOAP implementation.

Diving into the source I found something that looks like a simple SOAP implementation. What are the quality of this implementation - production ready? To be used with HTTP servlets? Can it be used with Apache? Does it scale to tenths and hundreds of simultanous transactions? Is it used in Shibboleth? Does it work with SSL two- way cert auth? Would you reccomend using this built-in SOAP thing or accompany openSAML with axis or JAX-WS? Would you prefer JAX-WS or axis together with openSAML.

Looking into the java-opensaml2 module of opensaml 2.0 I could not find much SOAP stuff. Is it left out, or does it exist in the XML tool module or in shib?

To Scott: Thank you very much for earlier very useful replies on this list.
