Hi Experts,

I am working on a project where I need to use XML
Signature to authenticate the server to the client, as
well as for integrity checking. I had a question
relating to its use. 

As per the related spec., I need to introduce the
<ds:signature> element and its descendants into the
message which is to be signed. However, I wanted to
find out if I am restricted to placing it in the
message header only, or do I have the flexibility to
place it in the message body too?

I had referred to the Web Services Security document
which seemed to indicate that the <ds:signature>
element had to be inserted in the SOAP header only.

Thanks a ton,
-Ravi
