How can I implement SOAP security in my Java application?

To implement SOAP security in Java, you can use WS-Security. This involves adding security headers to your SOAP messages.

What libraries do I need to use for WS-Security?

You can use libraries like Apache WSS4J or Metro. They provide support for adding security features to your SOAP messages.

Can you give me an example of adding a security header?

Sure! You can create a security header using WSS4J like this:

Map<String, Object> properties = new HashMap<>();
properties.put(WSHandlerConstants.ACTION, WSHandlerConstants.USERNAME_TOKEN);
properties.put(WSHandlerConstants.USER, "myUsername");
properties.put(WSHandlerConstants.PASSWORD_TYPE, WSConstants.PASSWORD_TEXT);

How do I test if the security is working?

You can use tools like SoapUI to send requests and check if the security headers are correctly applied and validated.
