Invoke a Web Service - 401 Error - Authentication?

Question

I've been through the Integrator's Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition, attempting to setup Action Framework so we can use OBIEE to push data to Sharepoint 2011.
I came across the article below and found it to be helpful in getting past the first hurdle which was identifying why the actionframeworkconfig.xml file was not being read properly.
ActionFrameworkConfig.xml structure changed from 11.1.1.5 to 11.1.1.6
I am working in 11.1.1.6.
The concern or question I have is I am attempting to access a WSDL from Sharepoint that does not allow annonymous access. I take the steps below and get the error 'HTTP connection error code is 401'.
1) Choose under Create... 'Action' from within OBIEE 11g
2) Pick 'Invoke a Web Service'
3) In the WSDL URL field, populate it with the path for the Sharepoint WSDL.
a. https://sharepointhost/_vti_bin/Lists.asmx?WSDL
4) Choose 'Open'
5) Receive error.
So my question is, is there a way to control the authentication here?
Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

First you map your service .wsdl file in the external resources as a WebService.
Create a module in your Catalog and right click >> Catalogue Component >> Web Service
Then you call it like it was an object in your code...
String result = MyService.returnMeAString();
logMessage(result);
