12 June 2008 - Apache Rampart 1.4 Released
The Apache Rampart Team has released the version 1.4 of Apache Rampart
Apache Rampart 1.4 is a toolkit that provides implementations of the WS-Sec specifications for Apache Axis2 1.4, based on Apache WSS4J 1.5.4 and the Apache AXIOM-DOOM 1.2.7 implementations.
You can download the releases from: http://ws.apache.org/rampart/download/1.4/download.cgi
There are two main Apache Axis2 modules provided with this release.
- rampart-1.4.mar -- This provides support for WS-Security and WS-SecureConversation features.
- rahas-1.4.mar -- This module provides the necessary components to enable SecurityTokenService functionality on a service.
Apache Rampart 1.4 uses a configuration model based on WS-Policy and WS-Security Policy. It is important to note that the Apache Rampart 1.0 style configuration is also available even though being marked as deprecated.
Apache Rampart 1.4 can be successfully used with the next Apache Sandesha2 release targeted towards Apache Axis2 1.4 to configure WS-SecureConversation + WS-ReliableMessaging scenarios.
