Problem with basic http authentication

["Adam.Leggett" <Ad...@upco.co.uk>]

Hi folks,

I am trying to put the rpcrouter under basic authentication but my SOAP
client calls are failing.
In my web.xml i've adding the following:

<security-constraint>
      <web-resource-collection>
        <web-resource-name>MySecureBit1</web-resource-name>
        <description>no description</description>
        <url-pattern>/servlet/rpcrouter</url-pattern>
        <http-method>GET</http-method>
        <http-method>POST</http-method>
      </web-resource-collection>
      <auth-constraint>
        <description>no description</description>
        <role-name>tomcat</role-name>
      </auth-constraint>
    </security-constraint>

    <login-config>
      <auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>
      <realm-name>soap</realm-name>
    </login-config>
    <security-role>
      <description>the tomcat role</description>
      <role-name>tomcat</role-name>
    </security-role>

This works fine in a browser without problems.
I used the following in my client to allow access to the router:

public Call buildCall(String uri, String methodName, Vector params) {

	SOAPHTTPConnection conn = new SOAPHTTPConnection();
	conn.setUserName("tomcat");
	conn.setPassword("tomcat");
	
	Call call = new Call();
	call.setSOAPTransport(conn);
	call.setTargetObjectURI(uri);
	call.setMethodName(methodName);
	call.setEncodingStyleURI(Constants.NS_URI_SOAP_ENC);
	call.setParams(params);

	return call;
}


However, when i run the client i get the following message:

[SOAPException: faultCode=SOAP-ENV:Client;
msg=socket closed (code=0); 
targetException=java.net.SocketException: socket closed (code=0)]



My tomcat log indicates that BASIC auth has taken place:

Context log: path="/soap" BASIC auth dG9tY2F0OnRvbWNhdA== tomcat:tomcat
Context log: path="/soap" BASIC Auth:  tomcat
Context log: path="/soap" Controled access for tomcat R( /soap +
/servlet/rpcrouter + null) Ct (Wrapper(default
S:org.apache.tomcat.servlets.DefaultServlet) Roles:  tomcat )

Thanks in advance.
