Re: Axis Client and Authentication

I am using the Axis WSDL2Java in Eclipse 3.3 and the Web Standard
Toolkit 2.01 to generate the client from the WSDL.

Subject: Axis Client and Authentication

I am trying to call a webservice from Grails.  Unfortunately it is an
internal app that does not expose the WSDL (e.g., ..?WSDL) so I can't
use GroovyWS.  I wanted to use Axis2 (which is better supported and has
more examples) but the service is using RPC encoded.  So I am down to
Axis WSDL2Java.

I can easily generate the client, but I need to pass userid/ password
for simple authentication.  Not only are the examples fairly sparse for
Axis but none of them set a userid and password. For example, here is an
example from the Axis user's guide:
file:///C:/axis-1_4/docs/user-guide.html#soapmon
public class Tester
{
    public static void main(String [] args) throws Exception {
        // Make a service
        AddressBookService service = new AddressBookServiceLocator();
 
        // Now use the service to get a stub which implements the SDI.
        AddressBook port = service.getAddressBook();
 
        // Make the actual call
        Address address = new Address(...);
        port.addEntry("Russell Butek", address);
    }}

Any suggestions or simple examples of calling the generated client.
