JAX-WS clients should perform SSL hostname verifications when connecting to a SOAP webservice

When a JAX-WS client running in Websphere attempts to connect to a SOAP webservice, it does not currently perform hostname verifications on the certificate of the webservice. This makes it susceptible to man-in-the-middle attacks.
The underlying reason is that websphere uses Axis2 as its JAX-WS implementation which uses a version of Apache HttpClient that does not support hostname verifications.
