Background: Consider two webapps: foo and bar. When a user of foo performs a certain action, foo shares files with bar by calling actions on each other via HTTP.
We are being asked to put a memory realm on foo and bar so that users must login. The problem is that now the above system-level communication between foo and bar will break. Question: if one knows the username and password for a webapp, can it be placed on the URL? E.g. http://mydomain.com:8080/foo?username=x&password=y I've tried this but no luck. More generally, is there a way to do it with the java.net URL class? Any ideas? I realize that perhaps foo and bar could communicate in a different way (RMI, JMS) but that is not really an option for us. thanks, Mike __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
