I'm trying to figure out how to do Basic Authentication with an ADB Axis2 version 1.5 Client.

I'm trying the following:

HttpTransportProperties.Authenticator basicAuth = new HttpTransportProperties.Authenticator();
basicAuth.setUsername(username);
basicAuth.setPassword(password);
final Options clientOptions = serviceStub._getServiceClient().getOptions();
clientOptions.setProperty(HTTPConstants.AUTHENTICATE, basicAuth);

However this does not work and the needed line in the message header is not being added.

Got the answer from the following site:

Apparently I was missing:

basicAuth.setPreemptiveAuthentication(true);
