Basic authentication for WS fails to authenticate from clien

[don1]

I have a bean that is annotated with @Webservice and @SecurityDomain
@Stateless()
@WebService()
@SecurityDomain("MyDomain")
@TransactionAttribute(TransactionAttributeType.REQUIRED)
public class DownPartBean implements DownPartLocal, DownPartRemote {
...
}


MyDomain is setup appropriately in the login-config.xml and is proven to be working from other context.

However, if I connect from a ws client even with the user and password set, the authentication always fails.

I've also edit the META-INF/jboss.xml file such that it looks like below but it never works. The documentation relating to how to secure an end point does not work for me and I suspect I probably did something wrong.

Appreciate any help..
