Secure and Reliable Web services - Axis 2.X and 1.X at the Microsoft PDC 2005

Kirill from MSFT has a session COM423 - Windows Communications Foundation ("Indigo"): Web Services Interoperability with Java/J2EE today during MSFT's annual PDC show. There are two demo's with all our stuff at Apache.
First one is "SecureRM" with Axis 1.X, Sandesha, Addressing and WSS4J, showing off a secure and reliable interop with Indigo. Second one is "SecureMTOM" with Axis2, WSS4J showing off a X509 Token profile WS-Security scenario with Encryption and Digital Signatures, but with a twist. The twist being that all base64 stuff show up on the wire as MTOM parts.

If you don't believe me, go talk to Kirill or try it yourself:
