Basic Authentication with Resteasy client

Question

I\'m trying to perform an basic auth to the login-module which runs on my jboss using REST. I already found an StackOverflow topic which explains how to authenticate with creden

Answer 1

One can use org.jboss.resteasy.client.jaxrs.BasicAuthentication which is packaged with resteasy-client 3.x and is meant specifically for basic authentication.

Client client = ClientBuilder.newClient();    
ResteasyWebTarget resteasyWebTarget = (ResteasyWebTarget)client.target("http://mywebservice/rest/api");
resteasyWebTarget.register(new BasicAuthentication("username", "passwd"));
