Hi, I´ve read the DOCs of the Apache SOAP API and I found the following lines >java org.apache.soap.server.ServiceManagerClient [-auth username:password] url operation arguments >where > username and password is the HTTP Basic authentication info I took a look into the source of class wich are involved with the deployment process. In the ServiceManagerClient in the invoke method I found this > SOAPHTTPConnection hc = new SOAPHTTPConnection (); > hc.setUserName (userName); > hc.setPassword (password); > call.setSOAPTransport (hc); My question not really has to do with the SOAP stuff but where does the service router controlls the user password settings from the HTTPConnection and where do I have to define these passwords for the basic auth of http requests. My idea is to set it up in the server/servet engine which I use (Resin) Am I right? But where... I have also read the doc but the technical english is really hard to understand and this is the first time that I have to supply this mechanism in an application for another application. thx daniel ____________________________________________ SinnerSchrader Deutschland GmbH Communication & Technology mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.sinnerschrader.com fon +49.(0) 40.39 88 55-0 fax +49.(0) 40.39 88 55-55 gasstrasse 8-16 | 22761 hamburg | germany ____________________________________________
