Hi,
I am familiar with using Jersey to create RESTful webservice servers and
clients, but due to class loading issues, I am trying to convert a Jersey
client into CXF. I believe I want to use an HTTP-centric client but we don't
use Spring. We need to use basic HTTP authentication. The user guide has this
example:
WebClient client = WebClient.create("http:books", "username", "password",
"classpath:/config/https.xml");
The first parameter isn't a URI string. Is it a format used by Spring? Can this
method only be used to create WebClients using Spring?
The other way of doing authentication shown is to add a header string:
String authorizationHeader = "Basic " +
org.apache.cxf.common.util.Base64Utility.encode("user:password".getBytes());
webClient.header("Authorization", authorizationHeader);
I am guessing that "user:password" should be substituted with the real values,
but would appreciate confirmation.
Thanks!
