JAX-WS Authentication problem -javax.xml.ws.WebServiceException Response: '

Question

Dear Friends ,
i am doing Webservice using JAX-WS technology .
client - jaxws one (exposed to client with WSDL ) and - calls 2nd service implemented in JAX-WS which has authentication
communication between client - jaxws one (exposed to client with WSDL ) is OK .
communication between jaxws one (exposed to client with WSDL ) and - calls 2nd service - exception occured due to authentication
{color:#ff0000}javax.xml.ws.WebServiceException Response: '401: Unauthorized' for url: 'http://host/HelloService'

Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: Response: '401: Unauthorized' for url: 'http://host/HelloService'
{color}i had written autheticator class also
one more thing this works good as Junit (stand alone ) and in Tomcat when i am deploying in weblogic i am getiing above exception .
public class MyAuth extends Authenticator{
String rctUserName;
String rctPassword;
public MyAuth(String username,String password)
super();
rctUserName = username;
rctPassword = password;
protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
char[] pwdChar = rctPassword.toCharArray();
return new PasswordAuthentication(rctUserName,pwdChar);
Authenticator.setDefault (new MyAuth("usr","pwd"));
try {
HelloService service = new HelloService(new URL(
"[http://host/HelloService]"), new QName(
"[http://webservices.services.hello.com/]",
"HelloService"));
catch (MalformedURLException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
MyService myservice = service.getMyService();
((BindingProvider)myservice ).getRequestContext().put(BindingProvider.USERNAME_PROPERTY, "usr");
System.out.println("3");
((BindingProvider)myservice ).getRequestContext().put(BindingProvider.PASSWORD_PROPERTY, "pwd");
((BindingProvider)myservice ).getRequestContext().put(BindingProvider.ENDPOINT_ADDRESS_PROPERTY,
"[http://host/HelloService]");Please suggest what needs to be done ? ( it is working as Junit and in tomcat ... in weblogic it is giving problem )
Thanks

Hi,
Weblogic uses its own URLStreamHandler that for some reason ignores authentication. You can get around this problem by using Suns stream handler like this:
MyService myservice = new MyService(new URL("http", "yourhost", port, "/yourfile", new sun.net.www.protocol.http.Handler()), new QName(...));
You should now have no problems using your authenticator. I would still very much like to find out how weblogic wants us to solve this though, since this is a work-around solution.
