Help with CredentialsProvider for Axis
I am using the commons http client with Axis. I wrote my own
CredentialsProvider to provide credentials for the Axis client by
interactively requesting them from the user. This works fine, but has a
significant problem. When asked a second time for credentials, my provider
does not know whether the previous credentials worked or not, and therefore
does not know whether to prompt the user for new credentials, or return the
previous ones. Because I don't control the HttpClient, I don't know if the
previous credentials worked or not.
Is there any way of knowing if my previously provided credentials were valid
or not? Can I implement some kind of factory so that I have access to the
objects I need to know what is happening?
Thanks in advance.
Robert Wille

If that's the case you will need to either change Axis or implement
caching inside of the provider.

My credentials provider gets called on every request. I looked at the Axis
code, and it creates a new HttpClient object for each request. I assume that
is the reason why the credentials cache is not being used.
Any other ideas?

Hi Robert,
It's up to the CredentialsProvider to handle multiple requests for the
same credentials. You will know that authentication has failed if
HttpClient asks for credentials for the same scheme/host/port more
than once. By default HttpClient caches credentials in the associated
HttpState object (if authentication is successful) and will
automatically reuse them for future requests.
