This topic explains how to configure HTTP basic authentication by programmatically modifying HTTP properties.
This task is one of three ways that you can configure HTTP basic authentication. You can also configure HTTP basic authentication with an assembly tool or with the administrative console.
If you programmatically configure HTTP basic authentication, the properties are configured in the Stub or Call instance. If you choose to configure HTTP basic authentication with the administrative console or an assembly tool, the Web services security binding information is modified. The values that are set programmatically take precedence over the values defined in the binding.
The HTTP basic authentication that is discussed in this topic is orthogonal to WS-Security and is distinct from basic authentication that WS-Security supports. WS-Security supports basic authentication token, not HTTP basic authentication.
Configure HTTP basic authentication programmatically with the following steps.
javax.xml.rpc.Call.USERNAME_PROPERTY javax.xml.rpc.Call.PASSWORD_PROPERTY javax.xml.rpc.Stub.USERNAME_PROPERTY javax.xml.rpc.Stub.PASSWORD_PROPERTY
Properties prop = new Properties(); InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext(prop); Service service = (Service)ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/service/StockQuoteService"); QName portQname = new QName("http://httpchannel.test.wsfvt.ws.ibm.com", "StockQuoteHttp"); StockQuote sq = (StockQuote)service.getPort(portQname, StockQuote.class); ((javax.xml.rpc.Stub) sq)._setProperty(javax.xml.rpc.Stub.USERNAME_PROPERTY, "myUser"); ((javax.xml.rpc.Stub) sq)._setProperty(javax.xml.rpc.Stub.PASSWORD_PROPERTY, "myPwd");
