How to set username/password in SoapMessage from the webserv

wtnat Dec 17, 2007 5:21 AM

I have a login page, which on login has to call a webservice. The server side handlers will do the authentication in the handleRequest method.

How do we set the username/password(entered by the user in the login page) into the SOAPMessage, so that in the serverside handler the handleRequest() method can retrieve username/password from the SOAPMessageContext and authenticate.

You can either:
- use HTTP Basic auth (see http://jbws.dyndns.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=Authentication for a full guide about authentication)
- use WS-Security with UsernameTokenProfile (http://jbws.dyndns.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=WS-Security_options)
- use a home-brew solution, put your username/password in your message (create method/operation with ad-hoc parameters) and manually get them in the server side handler
