Can a DII client access a WSDL locked down by basic HTTP aut

[csnow]

Hello,
I was wondering if there is an easy way to pass authentication information to the ServiceFactoryImpl class before it creates a service? I cannot seem to find an easy way to get access to a WSDL that requires BASIC authentication.

Once I have the stub I am fine because I can add information into the HTTP header and the SOAP header by setting properties on the stub. I know I should probably be using a different type of client since DII is limiting but I was hoping someone could help me.
Thanks in advance,
Chris

Been awhile since using DII. Have you tried setting the USERNAME_PROPERTY and PASSWORD_PROPERTY on the Call object?

Sorry, just noticed that you were talking about accessing the WSDL. Maybe a URL with the user/password specified in it would work.

Something like:

http://user:password@server/webservice?wsdl

Not sure if this will actually work, plus it limits the characters allowed for the password.

That is a great idea but unfortunately I tried that and it didn't work. Now, if I do that from firefox it works fine but I think the client has to support such a feature. Here is my relevant client code:

ServiceFactoryImpl factory = (ServiceFactoryImpl)ServiceFactory.newInstance();
URL wsdlURL = new URL(WSDL_LOCATION);
QName serviceName = new QName(NAMESPACE, SERVICE_NAME);

Service service = factory.createService(wsdlURL, new URL(JAX_RPC_MAPPING_LOCATION), null, serviceName, PORT_NAME);

I had the same problem. I solved it by using a java.net.Authenticator implementation.

class AuthImpl extends java.net.Authenticator
{
 ...

 PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication()
 {
 return your credentials here
 }
 ...
}

Before you read the WSDL do something like this

Authenticator.setDefault(new AuthImpl(...));

At least in my case it worked.
