hi Tony in the HttpAuthentication u can use http header element to pass the authentication information and u can use the HttpServletRequest methods to get the user name and the password. but in the soap message level authentication u need to deserialize ur message to get the password.
in ur case, u used Http level of authentication. vtpavan > Hi Ravi > > I'm not sure what the difference is!
