[SOLVED] Perform SOAP calls with WS-Trust (ADFS)

Perform SOAP calls with WS-Trust (ADFS)

I have a huge and old Java 5 application which now should call a webservice from MS-CRM. This is secured with an ADFS and SOAP calls can be done using WS-Trust.

My first (unauthorized) tries with Apache HTTP Components 4.3 (httpcore/httpclient) just have been fine but they only provide HTTP Basic//Digest and NTLM authentication - not WS-Trust.

Is there a library which can perform SOAP client calls from a standalone Java 5 application (no servlet engine or application server) using WS-Trust?

Key requirements:

Java 1.5
Only client required
WS-Trust authentication
Not-code-generated clients would be preferred as the application doing the calls is somewhat limitating

Solution

Some of the popular and robust WS frameworks out there (like Apache CXF and Axis2) support WS-Trust of ADFS. But today it became complicated to make those run in a Java 1.5 environment.

Besides suggesting CXF and Axis 2 my solution was to use the REST-endpoint of MS-CRM and obtaining the WS-Trust token by simulated a browser-like HTML-form-login.
