Hi. I have a GWT application running on tomcat that will be using GWT- RPC to talk to a proxy (gwt servlet). On the proxy I plan on using preemptive basic authentication to communicate with the backend server, also running on tomcat. I have figured out how to send the credentials 'preemptively' to the backend server. So, one approach to make this work seamlessly from GWT client to backend server is to somehow inject the username/password into the auth header from within the GWT client. So, when the user logs into the application, their username/password could be obtained and injected into the header. The proxy server (GWT-RPC servlet) would obtain this information and pass it through to the backend server.
I have the proxy/backend part working fine. I am about to start on the part where my GWT application injects the username/password into the header of all requests. I'm not sure what the best approach is to accomplish this. Does anyone have a good understanding of how this should be accomplished? thanks. jorel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
