Setting authentication properties in java soap client

Question

We're all familiar with doing authentication in a soap header

<soapenv:Header>
  <wsse:Security soapenv:mustUnderstand="1" xmlns:wsse="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd">
     <wsse:UsernameToken wsu:Id="UsernameToken-18" xmlns:wsu="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-utility-1.0.xsd">
        <wsse:Username>userName</wsse:Username>
        <wsse:Password Type="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-username-token-profile-1.0#PasswordText">password</wsse:Password>
     </wsse:UsernameToken>
  </wsse:Security>

And imitating it in java using SOAPHandler. Unfortunately I have one web service where this just ends with a 401. The only way I can get a response in SOAP UI is using the username/password properties for the request.

When you set the username and password in those fields in SoapUI you are using basic authentication. This becomes a HTTP header named Authorization.

See this answer.

Thanks. That answer didn't actually help, because I'm using autogen classes from wsimport, but it told me what to google. This answer is what I ended up using: stackoverflow.com/a/7086636/2561658
