Part 1 of this tutorial series gave you step-by-step instructions for building a Web service for a simple calculator application. You generated Web services and tested two different types of Web services clients -- a Java™ Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) client and a stand-alone Java client -- and handled user-defined exceptions in Web services. This second installment in the three-part series shows you how to configure HTTP basic authentication for your Web services and Web services client, and monitor the HTTP basic authentication information using the TCP/IP monitor.

Objectives

  • Configure HTTP basic authentication for your Web services and Web services client.

  • Monitor the HTTP basic authentication information using the TCP/IP monitor.

You need to install IBM Rational® Application Developer V7 with the latest fixes. (You can download a trial copy of Rational Application Developer from developerWorks if you haven't purchased the license.) If you're not sure if your instance Rational Application Developer V7 is at the latest level, you can go to the IBM Installation Manager and select Update Packages to see if new updates are available. At the time of this writing, the latest version of Rational Application Developer was 7.0.0.5. (Note: IBM generally releases a fix pack approximately every three months. You may see a newer version of Rational Application Developer at the time of installation. Each new version of Rational Application Developer contains large quantities of fixes. We recommend that you install the latest version to avoid encountering problems that have already been fixed.)
