okay I think that what I'm trying to understand is how the client is told
that he needs to authenticate.

Does the server send a HTTP 401 response telling the client to authenticate,
at which point the client resends the request with the auth details in the
header? (would this happen on every message?)

And on the server side all of this is handled by the Shiro interceptor and
and your Authentication realm..?

How would I then get hold of the Subject/user information within the
webservice?
