Hi!

1. I don't know if I can tell you about ALL available options, but some are:
- HTTP Basic security.
- HTTPS
- WS-Security
2. This depends on your requirements. Without requirements it is almost impossible to say anything.
3. Yes, probably, but you may have to write quite some XML.
NetBeans, for instance, has much better support for editing WS-Policy files and WSIT configuration files but this does not mean it cannot be done in Eclipse.
Best wishes!
