JAX-WS setting header HTTP basic authentication

Question

Hello
How can I set HTTP header vars in JAX-WS?
I found a lot of questions but no answer works.
This is my code:
Service service = Service.create(url, portName);
OnlineSIUIDef hello = service.getPort(OnlineSIUIDef.class);
Map<String, Object> contextws = ((BindingProvider)service).getRequestContext();
contextws.put(BindingProvider.USERNAME_PROPERTY, SIUI_USERNAME);
contextws.put(BindingProvider.PASSWORD_PROPERTY, SIUI_PASSWORD);
All examples I found on the web are based on such a structure.
Problem is that first is created a new service, then the header vars are changed.
But this can't work because when the service is created(at line 1) error 401 is already thrown.
What is the equivalent in JAX-WS of the following lines?
HttpsURLConnection con = (HttpsURLConnection) url.openConnection();
con.setSSLSocketFactory(factory);
con.setRequestProperty(varName, val);
Can someone help with this problem?
I'm looking for a solution for over a day and I can't find nothing usefull about this.
Thank you.

Hi
Seems that the URL you are referring in Service.create() is a basic auth protected URL(wsdlLocation) ie why you are getting 401 error.
there are different options to resolve this.
Authenticator.setDefault(new Authenticator() {
@Override
protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
   return new PasswordAuthentication(
      SIUI_USERNAME,
      SIUI_PASSWORD.toCharArray());
try to add the above code ,before creating the URL.
2 Download the WSDL from Endpoint and refer that WSDL locally,and dynamically hook the correct endpoint using
contextws.put(BindingProvider.ENDPOINT_ADDRESS_PROPERTY,"ur Endpoint");
Haven't tried this...
custom SSLSocketFactory come in picture only if you have protected your webservice using one way/2 way SSL.
Thanks,
