Authentification & session

[Th Templ <te...@hotmail.com>]

Hello,

I try to make an authentification of an client of my webservice ( developped 
with Axis ) whatever the client ( axis or other ).
I want too to keep information about the authenticated client for an other 
request that he will make later ( check the client is authenticated and have 
rights to do a task ).
How can I do that? Where can I find documentations or tutorials about it?
Thanks for your help
Templth

If you use HTTP as the transport protocol it is maybe the easiest way 
to do this task in the container (e.g. tomcat) and use HTTP 
authentication. 
Just protect the URL(s) of your service(s):
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/realm-howto.html

So you don't have to write any additional code in your service.
