在java Web服务客户端中设置头信息

Question

I hope someone can help me. I have been asked to create a client to call a web service, but the developers of the web service are less than helpful and have provided scant information.

I have created the service client in NetBeans and I have added a handler (from examples I have seen) in order to set username and password for Basic Authentication. However, when I run the project I am told that authentication failed, so either I am sending the wrong information or I need to do some more. What I really don't understand is this: the developers of the web service say that the header should look like the following, so could anyone tell me how I achieve that, or is it all done for me?

POST https:// …

Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate

Content-Type: text/xml;charset=UTF-8

SOAPAction: ””

Authorization: Basic MjAwKKAwNjAwMTpQcjBlZSRza!:uYWw=

Content-Length: 848

Host: …

Connection: Keep-Alive

User-Agent: Apache-HttpClient/4.1.1

thanks in advance,

You can use BindingProvider to set username password for basic authentication. For eg.

    Service service = Service.create(url, qname);
    HelloWorld hello = service.getPort(HelloWorld.class);

    /******************* Set UserName and Password ******************************/
    Map<String, Object> req_context = ((BindingProvider)hello).getRequestContext();
    req_context.put(BindingProvider.ENDPOINT_ADDRESS_PROPERTY, WS_URL);

    Map<String, List<String>> headers = new HashMap<String, List<String>>();
    headers.put("Username", Collections.singletonList("yogesh"));
    headers.put("Password", Collections.singletonList("patil"));
    req_context.put(MessageContext.HTTP_REQUEST_HEADERS, headers);
    /**********************************************************************/
