How do I use WS-* Standards with Delphi 2010

Question

Web Service requirements are specified in documents.

• WS-Security 1.1
• WS-Trust 1.3
• WS-SecurityPolicy 1.2

Can I use Delphi 2010 and this web service or Can I create a dll with any other native language?

See:

You can try Apache Axis2/C, an open source project, released under the Apache 2.0 License.

Apache Axis2/C is a Web services engine implemented in the C programming language.

It is based on the extensible and flexible Axis2 architecture (for the Java platform).

The following WS-* specifications are supported, either as built in modules or as separate Apache projects:

• WS-Addressing - Built in to Axis2/C
• WS-Policy - Built in to Axis2/C
• WS-Security - Implemented by Apache Rampart/C project
• WS-SecurityPolicy - Built in to Axis2/C
• WS-ReliableMessaging - Implemented by Apache Sandesha2/C project
• WS-Eventing - Implemented by Apache Savan/C project

I have not studied it in detail, but in my experience most Apache projects are among the best open source projects, well documented and widely used in (non-commercial and commercial) applications.

Update: Support for WS-Trust is mentioned on the Apache Rampart/C pages.
