Problem
There is a patch from the Axis community for SSL Certificate Validation issue(Man-In-The-Middle attack). The issue's CVE number is CVE-2012-5785.

Apache Axis2/Java 1.6.2 and earlier does not verify that the server hostname matches a domain name in the subject's Common Name(CN) or subjectAltName field of the X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SSL servers via an arbitrary valid certificate
