To authenticate a request, I use Authenticator.setDefault
which is VM wide...
What If I want to separate different webservices
and each one are aware of t
Building on Mike's response above I have the following solution, because while I much appreciate the general idea (that's why I've copied it ;-) , I see a few problems with it:
Below solution I think solves these issues.
/**
* Authenticator which keeps credentials to be passed to the requestor based on authority of the requesting URL. The
* authority is user:password@host:port
, where all parts are optional except the host.
*
* If the configured credentials are not found, the Authenticator will use the credentials embedded in the URL, if
* present. Embedded credentials are in the form of
user:password@host:port
