Authentication Proxy

Question

I have written a client based on weblogic to call a webservice on some server.
My client is behind authenticating Proxy. The proxy fails to authenticate me and
redirects to its failure page.
I have tried using SoapProxyAuthenticator class as discussed previously on the
forum but it doesnot get instantiated.
Is there any way to send the authentication details while calling a rpc based
method?
I am pasting the code snippet for reference
Thanks and regards
Rahul

Hi Rahul,
The proxy authentication is done in the
weblogic.net.http.HttpURLConnection class, which is in weblogic.jar. It
contains the logic to handle 407 (Proxy-Authenticate) status codes
received from HTTP Proxy servers. It (WebLogic Server) uses the
weblogic.common.ProxyAuthenticator interface to callback into developer
provided code, to obtain the authentication information to be sent as a
response. See [1] for details. Also Michael Wooten has some sample code
[2] that was done for WLW, that contains the java source that implements
weblogic.common.ProxyAuthenticator, if you want to see how that works.
Hope this helps,
Bruce

Thanks Bruce,
Yes I have gone through the document. But I think It applies only to weblogic
workshop.
I am not using the workshop. Can I do this by just using the weblogic server?
