Disable JWS BASIC Auth dialog ?

Question

I have a Swing based client application that has a custom Login page. We have converted our client/server access from RMI to SOAP. The issue I have is when a user enters incorrect user/pass in my custom swing based login UI, JWS intercepts the response and throws up its own BASIC Auth dialog, instead of just failing so my users can reenter their credintials in the swing based login UI.
Now, if you go ahead and reenter proper credintials in the JWS BASIC Auth dialog, then everything continues on ok. What I need to do is NOT get the JWS BASIC Auth dialog.
This is easy to do with a HTML/JSP based login page, cause I could just use FORM based authentication. But that doesn't seem to work with a swing based client because there is no real login-form to redirect to.
Any Ideas would be appreciated.

It shouldn't be much harder than adding to your class this:
    private static class NOAuthenticator extends Authenticator {
     protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
         return null;
    static {
     Authenticator.setDefault(new NOAuthenticator());
    }You may need a constructor, not sure, I have one in my version 'cause it'a bit more complex: it prevents server authentication (for exactly the same reason you exposed), but allows Proxy authentication.
Bye.
