In your book do you discuss promient technologies in the area of XML security for instance XML Encryption,XACML,XML DSIG,SAML etc and how to use these technologies together in order to secure a xml based web service.

Thanks in advance.

I believe the authors are not yet around (the promotion hasn't started yet) but in the meanwhile, you should read the book description and user reviews.

Hmm. A good question. I've been under the assumption that it starts whenever Thomas posts the welcome message, but that may very well be incorrect. I'll ask Thomas to give the official ruling...

Okay ... So, I am late . I would have taken a day off from my day job if I knew that there would be so many questions.
Coming to the main question -- what XML Security technologies are covered?
You will find pretty good coverage of XML-Signature, XML-Encryption and WS-Security with sample code and examples.
SAML and XACML are mentioned in the passing, but not covered in detail, the main reason being the lack of good Java toolkits, either open source or commercial, supporting these standards at the time of finalizing the manuscript.
