+Axis2 JSON support is via POJO Objects. LoginRequest and LoginResponse are 
coded in the LoginService as the names would indicate. A flag in the supplied 
axis2.xml file, enableJSONOnly,
 disables Axis2 functionality not required for JSON and sets up the server to 
expect JSON.
+
+<h3>Security Benefits of enableJSONOnly</h3>
+
+<p>The <strong>enableJSONOnly</strong> parameter provides significant security 
hardening by enforcing strict JSON-only processing:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li><strong>Content-Type Enforcement:</strong> Rejects requests without 
<code>"Content-Type: application/json"</code> header, preventing content-type 
confusion attacks</li>
+<li><strong>Protocol Restriction:</strong> Disables SOAP, XML, and other 
message formats that could introduce XXE (XML External Entity) 
vulnerabilities</li>
+<li><strong>Attack Surface Reduction:</strong> Eliminates unused Axis2 
functionality, reducing potential security vulnerabilities in XML parsing and 
SOAP processing</li>
+<li><strong>Input Validation:</strong> Ensures only well-formed JSON payloads 
are accepted, preventing malformed request attacks</li>
+<li><strong>Request Filtering:</strong> Blocks non-JSON requests at the 
transport level, providing an additional security barrier</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p><strong>Security Best Practice:</strong> When combined with HTTPS-only 
enforcement (required for HTTP/2),
+enableJSONOnly creates a secure, hardened API endpoint that accepts only 
authenticated JSON requests over encrypted connections.</p>
