axis 1.4 overriding BASIC authentication

2006-09-04 Thread Paul McMahon
Is it possible to override the class that handles BASIC HTTP authentication?

I want to forget tomcat_users.xml and hook into some proprietary 
authentication code which stores users and passwords.

In tomcat custom authentication can be achieved by implementing your own 
realm. Although I would first check if any of the built-in tomcat 
realms (DataSourceRealm, JDBCRealm, ...) could be used. See 
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.0-doc/realm-howto.html (depending on 
your tomcat version) for more detail.
