Spring web-service application in weblogic 9.1

Question

Hi,
Iam trying to port the sample application given with Spring Web Services download(It works great with tomcat) to Weblogic 9.1. There were some issues doing it. You can see the discussion here. [url http://forum.springframework.org/showthread.php?t=26205]
I did that accordingly and Iam getting a [org.springframework.ws.soap.axiom.AxiomSoapMessageFactory]: Constructor threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.ClassCastException: weblogic.xml.stax.XMLStreamInputFactory

Well, in the web.xml for the app we have it set up as BASIC authentication, and list the roles that are allowed at that particular site. In order to sign in, another app would have to set the authorization property in the URLConnection.
The problem is, using AXIS to connect, I have no way to set this property in the connection, since it is wrapped up by axis. (Call)
I have reached a potential solution of constructing the soap message with the client using means other than the AXIS API, which I am implementing now and praying it will work!
Everything I have read suggests using SSL to connect to the web service, but I can't figure out how to set up SSL so that my host/axisweb directory needs HTTPS but host/ doesn't...
Does this make sense? Any suggestions?
