RE: Authenication - username/pwd in request header

[Carsten Friedrich]

Axis doesn’t care that much. Authentication will be done by however you configure your server (I think tomcat in your case?). You should have a look in the tomcat FAQs on how to set up authentication with MySQL. It should then work automatically (well, after putting your webservice under the corresponding security constraints) with AIXS. At least it does here with Postgres.   Carsten   -- Carsten Friedrich Capital Markets CRC Limited Level 2, 9 Castlereagh Street, Sydney NSW 2000 Tel: +61 2 9233 7999   Fax: +61 2 9236 9177   http://www.cmcrc.com   Capital Markets CRC Ltd (CMCRC) - Confidential Communication The information contained in this e-mail is confidential.  It is intended solely for the addressee.
