Hi, thanks to everyone again who has replied. I would prefer not to add custom headers to the soap message, i want to use the ws-security usernametoken. Thanks Leander for your response, but that approach did not work. In the wss4j documentation, is the following code snippit. Unfortunately, it is not clear on which object the _setPropery in on - its is not on any generation code from wsdl2java or in the apit:
PingServiceLocator service = new PingServiceLocator(); ... PingPort port = (PingPort) service.getPing1(); port._setProperty(UsernameToken.PASSWORD_TYPE, WSConstants.PASSWORD_TEXT); port._setProperty(WSHandlerConstants.USER, "werner"); This is from the package description of org.apache.ws.axis.security. I had success with the following approach , but all these classes are deprecated, and no alternative is suggested in the api. OutflowConfiguration outflowConfig = new OutflowConfiguration(); outflowConfig.setActionItems("UsernameToken"); outflowConfig.setUser("bob"); outflowConfig.setPasswordCallbackClass("test1.security.PWCBClientHandler"); axisstub._getServiceClient().getOptions().setProperty(WSSHandlerConstants.OUTFLOW_SECURITY, outflowConfig.getProperty()); I am trying to attempt something basic here, unfortunately the api doc is quite poor.
