XML-Signature Syntax and Processing is now a Proposed Recommendation [August 22]
XML Signatures can be applied to any digital content (data object), including XML. An XML Signature may be applied to the content of one or more resources. Enveloped or enveloping signatures are over data within the same XML document as the signature; detached signatures are over data external to the signature element. More specifically, this specification defines an XML signature element type and an XML signature application; conformance requirements for each are specified by way of schema definitions and prose respectively. This specification also includes other useful types that identify methods for referencing collections of resources, algorithms, and keying and management information. The XML Signature is a method of associating a key with referenced data (octets); it does not normatively specify how keys are associated with persons or institutions, nor the meaning of the data being referenced and signed.

Developers Guide to building XML-based Web Services with J2EE [August 21]
Web services using XML standards is a new paradigm in the way B2B collaborations are modeled. It provides a conceptual and architectural foundation which can be implemented using a variety of platforms and products. Today, developers can use the Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) to build XML-based web services. They can leverage existing J2EE technologies to build a complete and fully interoperable web service that complies with XML standards.
