JAX-WS web service proxy client and HTTP authentication

In a project I need to set the HTTP authentication on a JAX-WS proxy client. So let's do it. We only have to set the username and password on the bindingprovider.

  @WebServiceRef()
  private static TEST_ORDER_INTERACTION tEST_ORDER_INTERACTION;

  public static void main(String [] args) throws MalformedURLException {
    tEST_ORDER_INTERACTION = new TEST_ORDER_INTERACTION();

    Test_order_interactionPortType port = tEST_ORDER_INTERACTION.getTest_order_interactionPort();
    ((BindingProvider) test_order_interactionPortType).getRequestContext().put(BindingProvider.USERNAME_PROPERTY,"ac-erpweb01\\oracle");
    ((BindingProvider) test_order_interactionPortType).getRequestContext().put(BindingProvider.PASSWORD_PROPERTY,"test");

Too bad this was not working for me. The Web Service, I called uses NTLM authentication ( Microsoft ). So we need to use our own Authenticator. Just create an Authenticator case.

package test.client;

import java.net.Authenticator;
import java.net.PasswordAuthentication;

public class MyAuthenticator extends Authenticator {
    
    private String user;
    private String password;
    
    public MyAuthenticator(String user,String password) {
      this.user = user;
      this.password = password;
    }
    

    @Override
    protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
        PasswordAuthentication auth = new PasswordAuthentication(user,password.toCharArray());
        return auth;
    }
}

Use this authenticator

  @WebServiceRef()
  private static TEST_ORDER_INTERACTION tEST_ORDER_INTERACTION;

  public static void main(String [] args) throws MalformedURLException {
    tEST_ORDER_INTERACTION = new TEST_ORDER_INTERACTION();

    Test_order_interactionPortType port = tEST_ORDER_INTERACTION.getTest_order_interactionPort();

    MyAuthenticator myAuth = new MyAuthenticator("ac-erpweb01\\oracle","test");
    Authenticator.setDefault(myAuth); 

Now we have set the HTTP authentication, we can not use the HTTP analyzer of JDeveloper anymore to see the soap messages. To see the soap request and response we can set a JAX-WS parameter. -Dcom.sun.xml.ws.transport.http.client.HttpTransportPipe.dump=true ,this will dump the data in your console output.
