How Can I call a UCM service from SOAP request

Question

Hi,
I have created one custom service and I would like to call that service from 3rd Party system via SOAP call. The 3rd Party system does not have the capability to call through RIDC.
Now I have exposed my service and tried to call but authentication exception was coming status code 401.
So I created one sample ADF application and tried to call the DocInfo service for testing (I thought let's try DocInfo then I will check my custom service). I downloaded the DocInfo service from UCM and  uploaded the WSDL into the project and got the client DocInfoSoapClient.java file.
public class DocInfoSoapClient
  @WebServiceRef
  private static DocInfo docInfo;
  public static void main(String [] args)
    docInfo = new DocInfo();
    DocInfoSoap docInfoSoap = docInfo.getDocInfoSoap();
    DocInfoByNameResult res = docInfoSoap.docInfoByName("TEST_001603", null);
    System.out.println(res.getContentInfo());
    // Add your code to call the desired methods.
The error is coming like:
Exception in thread "main" com.sun.xml.ws.client.ClientTransportAccessException: The server sent HTTP status code 401: Unauthorized: http://xxxxxxxx:16200/_dav/cs/idcplg
  at com.sun.xml.ws.transport.http.client.HttpTransportPipe.getClientTransportException(HttpTransportPipe.java:340)
I tried a lot but same error. There should be some process by which I can send the userid and password but failed. Even I tried to send the properties as key value pair in IdcPropertyList but I know that is wrong.
I checked the Issue: https://community.oracle.com/thread/2424460
But there was no answer.
Can anyone help on it?

Hi Santanu,
You need to write SoapHandler in order to pass username and pwd. You will need 2 classes namely HeaderHandlerResolver & SoapHandler. This is how i do in in my JAX-WS clients. I generate stubs and then attach handler to webserviceinterface
PFA HeaderHandlerResolver.java and SoapHandler.java you would attach soap handler something like this in your code i have never done this via ADF so not sure.
HeaderHandlerResolver soapHandlerResolver = new HeaderHandlerResolver();
docInfo.setHandlerResolver(soapHandlerResolver);
In SoapHandler class you will mention username and pwd like this
soapMessageContext.put(BindingProvider.USERNAME_PROPERTY,"username");
soapMessageContext.put(BindingProvider.PASSWORD_PROPERTY,"pwd");
