HTTP BASIC Authentication with JaxWsPortProxyFactoryBean

[tgarrett]

I know that the old JaxRpcPortProxyFactoryBean supported username and password (presumably for BASIC authentication), but it doesn't look like JaxWsPortProxyFactoryBean has any functionality like that.

What is the best way to tackle that limitation? A couple of things come to mind for me: 1.) some sort of interceptor, 2.) extending one of the classes in the hierarchy of JaxWsPortProxyFactoryBean and making a session-scoped bean that adds authentication information when the methods are invoked on the remote service.

Any other ideas the community could point me to would be greatly appreciated. I am not looking for anyone to write the code for me or provide working samples Just ideas.

Thanks in advance!
