SignSOAPRequest

>>> Problem:
Consider a webservice project where every request needs to be signed with a given digital certificate.
The performance tests of that project are built at Borland SilkPerformer.
This tool, until version 16, does not cover specific functions to sign one SOAP request message.
Then, to do the performance test, using a SOAP/HTML SilkPerformer project, it was necessary to build
an external component to sign the request.

>>> Proposed Solution:
Build a java project simple enough to do only the task to sign a SOAP request message.
With the jar file obtained, put it in the SilkPerformer to sign the request before send it.

>>> Goals achieved with the solution:
Make possible that SilkPerformer projects (SOAP/HTML) tests webservices that need signed requests.
Manten higher level of independance between work teams, with possible paralelism.
Make the test project free from implementation details, making it more decoupled.
