Re: org.apache.axis2.AxisFault: The security token could not be authenticated or authorized

First thank you robert for everything; You really help me a lot and I want to appologise for taking your time

2. I finally decided to try this-

       
            if(pwcb.getPassword()==null)
            {
                
                try {
                    throw new Exception ("getPassword is null" +pwcb.getPassword());
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }


and so that is theproblem  - as i said I extract with no problem the stored in the database password and salt, but what may be the reason pwcb.getPassword() to be empty 


thank, thank you very much in advance robert

As I mentioned you are doing this the hard way. And having the salt as
a db column makes a hackers job significantly easier as the can use it
with a rainbow table. Anyways, you need to test for null like so:

private static String hash(String password, byte[] salt) throws Exception
  {
              if (salt == null) {
                  throw new Exception("salt is null");
              }
             SecretKeyFactory f =
SecretKeyFactory.getInstance("PBKDF2WithHmacSHA1");
             if (f == null) {
                  throw new Exception("instance of SecretKeyFactory is null");
              }
              if (password == null || password.toCharArray() == null) {
                  throw new Exception("password is null");
              }
           KeySpec spec = new PBEKeySpec(password.toCharArray(), salt,
65536, 256);
           if(spec == null)  {
                  throw new Exception("KeySpec is null");
           }
           if (f.generateSecret(spec).getEncoded() == null) {
               throw new Exception("encoding is null");
           }
           System.out.println("returning with encoded String");
           return
Base64.encodeBase64String(f.generateSecret(spec).getEncoded());

  }
