Calling a Web Services Protected using HTTP Basic

WS-Security provides a way to protect Web Services at the message level (SOAP) and it is independent of the protocol used (HTTP, JMS, ...). However, some services are still using HTTP based authentication for protection. JAX-RPC and its Oracle implementation provides a way to set the username and password in the client (Stub) using some properties on the Stub.

             ((Stub)port)._setProperty(Stub.USERNAME_PROPERTY, "username");
             ((Stub)port)._setProperty(Stub.PASSWORD_PROPERTY, "password");           

That's it...

Theses properties are shortcuts to the standard JAX-RPC properties:

                javax.xml.rpc.security.auth.username
                javax.xml.rpc.security.auth.password

This code is the same when you are using the Call interface.
