XMLRPC authentication methods

Apologies for being lazy, though I have looked about the cvs and various
API docs for this.

Are there any straight forward authentication methods included with or
that work with xmlrpc lib ?

I have not tried any authentication, but I think it is possible to do
it. First you need to configure HTTP basic auth on the server, it is
done in the application deployment descriptor (web.xml). And on the
client side, when connecting to the server, try URL which contains user
name and password.

If it will not work, then XmlRpcClient.setBasicAuthentication() might do
the trick.
