XML Security Stack

Figure 71 shows how XML Digital Signature API (JSR 105) interacts with
security components today and how it will interact with other security compo-
nents, including XML Digital Encryption API (JSR 106), in future releases.

Figure 71 Java WSDP Security Components

XWSS calls Apache XML-Security directly today; in future releases, it should
be able to call other pluggable security providers. The Apache XML-Security
provider and the Sun JCA Provider are both pluggable components. Since JSR
105 is final today, the JSR 105 layer is standard now; the JSR 106 layer will be
standard after that JSR becomes final.
