Title Body

I'm new to JAX-WS and there's a thing which I don't understand. There's a ton of tutorials available on how to set up JAX-WS security, but in pretty much all cases BindingProvider.USERNAME_PROPERTY and BindingProvider.PASSWORD_PROPERTY are stored in some .xml file(depending on the container I believe) - they are "hardcoded" that is. And that's what I don't get. How can I authenticate a web service client by comparing BindingProvider.USERNAME_PROPERTY and BindingProvider.PASSWORD_PROPERTY with a user name and password that's in a database? I tried setting BindingProvider.USERNAME_PROPERTY and BindingProvider.PASSWORD_PROPERTY on the client side like this: ShopingCartService scs = new ShopingCartService(wsdlURL, name); ShopingCart sc = scs.getShopingCartPort(); Map<String, Object> requestContext = ((BindingProvider)sc).getRequestContext(); requestContext.put(BindingProvider.USERNAME_PROPERTY, userName); requestContext.put(BindingProvider.PASSWORD_PROPERTY, password); sc.someFunctionCall(); And then, on the server side retrieving like this: @Resource WebServiceContext wsContext; @WebMethod public void someFunctionCall() { MessageContext mc = wsContext.getMessageContext(); mc.get(BindingProvider.USERNAME_PROPERTY); mc.get(BindingProvider.PASSWORD_PROPERTY); } But I always get null, I didn't set up anything in xml, web service works just fine, except I can't get those variables :( I'm running both on java 1.6, tomcat 6 and JAX-WS . Any help with authenticating users with passwords from a database is greatly appreciated, Thanks.
