How to Authenticate the Web Service from my Java Client?

Question

Hi All,
I am a newbie. I am working in Microsoft Technology. But due to a critical requirement, I am suppose to write a Java Web Service Client application. I some how managed to create the Client Application. The application works fine if the Authentication is turned off in the web service level itself. I am unable to or unaware of authentication in Java World. I have written a .NET Client application where I am able to set the Credentials but in Java world no property or method allows me to set it.
Anybody knows how to solve this problem?
My configuration is,
JDK - JDK 1.5.0.16
IDE - Netbeans 6.1
Web Server - Tomcat 6.0
SOAP - Native C++ SOAP
How do I did?
- Created a Java Web Service Client Application.
- Added the Web Reference to the SOAP WSDL url.
- Initialized the class object using the WSDL generated SOAP classes (Reference classes)
My code look like,
String result = "";
            try {
                QName name = new QName("http://eaglesuite20/eaglesoap.wsdl", "eaglesoap");
                eaglesuite20.eaglesoap.Eaglesoap service = new eaglesuite20.eaglesoap.Eaglesoap(new URL("http://phobos:1011/?wsdl"), name);
                eaglesuite20.eaglesoap.EaglesoapPortType port = service.getEaglesoap();               
                // TODO initialize WS operation arguments here
                eagle.Request submitRequest = new eagle.Request();
                submitRequest.setRequestType(eagle.RequestType.E_B_SCHEDULE_DEF);
                submitRequest.setOperation(eagle.Operation.READ);
                eagle.FilterDefinition filter = new eagle.FilterDefinition();
                filter.setField(new JAXBElement<String>(new QName("urn:eagle", "Field"), String.class, "SHOW_SCHEDULED"));
                filter.setValue(new JAXBElement<String>(new QName("urn:eagle", "Value"), String.class, "SHOW_SCHEDULED"));
                filter.setOperator(eagle.EOperators.EQUAL);
                eagle.FilterDefinitions filDefs = new eagle.FilterDefinitions();
                filDefs.getFilterDefinition().add(filter);
                submitRequest.setFilterDefinitions(new JAXBElement<eagle.FilterDefinitions>(new QName("urn:eagle", "FilterDefinitions"), eagle.FilterDefinitions.class, filDefs));
                // TODO process result here
                result = port.submitData(submitRequest);
            //out.println("Result = " + result);
            } catch (Exception ex) {
                // TODO handle custom exceptions here
                out.println(ex.getMessage());
            }Thanks in Advance.
