JAX-WS Password Type PasswordText

Question

I\'ve got a simple command line Java JAX-WS app to test a SOAP request, but the server is expecting the Password Type to be PasswordText and I\'m stumped on how to set this.

Answer 1

If you implement SOAPHandler interface, the method msgCtx.getMessage() will render the entire XML, and if you are working with big files you will have Out of Memory errors. I tested with UsernameToken authentication on JAX-WS client and it works:

String SECURITY_NS = "http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd";
String PASSWORD_TYPE = "http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-username-token-profile-1.0#PasswordText";
String AUTH_PREFIX = "wss";

MyService service = new MyService();
MyServicePort port = service.getMyServicePort();

try {
    SOAPFactory soapFactory = SOAPFactory.newInstance();
    SOAPElement security = soapFactory.createElement("Security", AUTH_PREFIX, SECURITY_NS);
    SOAPElement uToken = soapFactory.createElement("UsernameToken", AUTH_PREFIX, SECURITY_NS);
    SOAPElement username = soapFactory.createElement("Username", AUTH_PREFIX, SECURITY_NS);
    username.addTextNode("username");

    SOAPElement pass = soapFactory.createElement("Password", AUTH_PREFIX, SECURITY_NS);
    pass.addAttribute(new QName("Type"), PASSWORD_TYPE);
    pass.addTextNode("password");

    uToken.addChildElement(username);
    uToken.addChildElement(pass);
    security.addChildElement(uToken);

    Header header = Headers.create(security);
    ((WSBindingProvider) port).setOutboundHeaders(header);

    // now, call webservice

} catch (SOAPException ex) {
    ex.printStackTrace();
}

Edit: You should add the "rt.jar" from jre to classpath.
