Adding Authorization to http header using RestClient

[Paulo Borges <ab...@hotmail.com>]

Hello:

Our wink rest application is using container security (in Websphere). Basically any attempt to access a resource is required to have an id and password. Normally in using java native URL api, I use the following code to authenticate a user [say id mack and pwd wink4you] to container:

String authorization = "mack:wink4you";
BASE64Encoder encoder = new sun.misc.BASE64Encoder();
URL url = new URL("http://localhost:9080/....");
HttpURLConnection urlc = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();            
urlc.setRequestProperty("Authorization", "Basic "+ encoder.encode(authorization));

is there a way to achieve the above result using wink client api.

Hi,

Can you try using:
org.apache.wink.client.handlers.BasicAuthSecurityHandler and add it to
your client config?

ClientConfig config = new ClientConfig();
BasicAuthSecurityHandler basicAuth = new BasicAuthSecurityHandler();
basicAuth.setUserName("mack");
basicAuth.setPassword("wink4you");
config.handlers(basicAuth);
// create the rest client instance
RestClient client = new RestClient(config);
// create the resource instance to interact with Resource
resource = client.resource("https://localhost:9080/path/to/resource");

You can also directly set any header via the client API:

client.resource("https://localhost:9080/path/to/resource").header("customHeader",
"customValue);
