Is this the perfect solution. The reason is that if you look at HttpClient code, you will notice that whether to use Basic or NTLM, it is resolved at runtime. (There is a message of "NTLM scheme selected" or something like that.
Let's say the user specifies "domain/user, password", I guess the best solution is to dynamically decide whether to use NTLM and Basic. In another words, with the same input, based on handshake response from server, the client decide whether to use NTCredential or UsernamePasswordCredential.
Another benefit is that if Kerberos or Digest is supported, then the user's code doesn't have to change. Otherwise user (like me) has to write
HttpTransportProperties
.DigestAuthentication dgiestAuthentication =
new HttpTransportProperties().new DigestAuthentication();
Plus, it's the server admin who decides what auth scheme to use, or simultaneous allow multiple. If the client code/configuration has to change, it's very inconvenient.

Hi Jeff, Dims, Paul and all,
To do NTLM Authentication one has to do the following now,
...
<snippet/>
HttpTransportProperties.NTLMAuthentication ntlmAuthentication =
new HttpTransportProperties().new NTLMAuthentication();
ntlmAuthentication.setUsername("axis2");
// other credentials.
options.setProperty(
org.apache.axis2.transport.http.HTTPConstants.NTLM_AUTHENTICATION,
ntlmAuthentication);
...
To do Basic Authentication one has to do the following,
...
<snippet/>
HttpTransportProperties.BasicAuthentication basicAuthentication =
new HttpTransportProperties().new BasicAuthentication();
basicAuthentication.setUsername("axis2");
basicAuthentication.setPassword("axis2");
options.setProperty(
org.apache.axis2.transport.http.HTTPConstants.BASIC_AUTHENTICATION,
basicAuthentication);
...
Jeff, please try it and let us know the results. Will update the docs asap.
Thank you
Saminda
