Folks,

How secure is SOAP at present, esp when it comes to transmission of secure data over network , and also in terms of client-server authentication??

i just read http://ws.apache.org/axis/java/security.html

Just wanted some views - 

1> how does apache soap 2.3.1 compare to AXIS on SSL support .?
2> how does HTTP digest compare to other forms of authentication in context of SOAP and various products in market?
3> Are professional products from IBM/BEA which provide WEBservices functionality , MORE SECURE and ROBUST? (for large amount of data, attacks , SSL etc)

Please advise.
Thanks
