Hi Suzy, This is possible and shouldn't require any code change to your client if you are already using Basic auth.
I have modified the StockQuote sample to use Basic authentication and SSL and
included the sample code at the end. You can ignore the SSL stuff if you aren't
using that.
You also need to set up your web.xml to secure the web service with Basic
authentication. You then need to configure your app server to use a database
realm.
I'm not sure what app server you are using so may not be able to help. I got
this running using JBoss 3.2.5 so I can help you more if that's what you are
using.
Hope this helps,
Patrick
package com.ibm.w3.services.stockquote;
public class StockQuoteClient
{
public static void main(String args[]) {
try
{
//set the certificate store
//just comment this out if you don't want to use SSL
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore",
"C:\\jboss-3.2.5\\server\\default\\conf\\ws-castor-test.keystore" );
StockQuoteService service = new
StockQuoteServiceLocator();
String endpoint =
"https://localhost:8443/axis/services/StockQuoteSOAPPort";;
StockQuotePortType port =
service.getStockQuoteSOAPPort( new java.net.URL( endpoint ) );
org.apache.axis.client.Stub stub = (
org.apache.axis.client.Stub )port;
//get the underlying Stub so that we can authorise
stub.setUsername( "test" );
stub.setPassword( "test" );
Quote quote = port.getStockQuote("IBM");
System.out.println( "Quote: " + quote);
System.out.println( "Volume" + quote.getVolume());
}
catch (Exception e)
{
System.out.println("Exception caught " + e);
e.printStackTrace();
}

Hey,
I'm looking to use basic authentication with axis through a mysql
database as opposed to the user.lst and perm.lst, can anyone give me
some pointers on doing this and does using a database change the client
code? With a java client the username and password comes in as
parameters of the main method.
Thanks
Suzy
