This week's book giveaway is in the Agile and other Processes forum. We're giving away four copies of The Mikado Method and have Ola Ellnestam and Daniel Brolund on-line! See this thread for details.
Does anyone know how to set up handlers and apply a username/password header to a SOAP message using an Axis2 based client?
For instance in Axis 1 I can do the following:
Is it possible to do something similar with the Axis2 / Rampart API? I can only find examples that retrieve the username/password information from XML based descriptors.

I'm guessing that there is a way to use Rampart programmatically instead of declaratively, but I've never felt the need to do that. Is there a particular reason you'd like to avoid using deployment descriptors? [ May 18, 2007: Message edited by: Ulf Dittmer ]
I have a front-end website which consumes the services so when a user inputs a username and password it is saved in a session bean and bundled with each request. Hence the 'user.getUserName()' from the snippet of code above.
Might there be a way of using descriptors for multiple users?

I'm attempting to use the following (based on the example 11 provided with Rampart 1.1), with no joy.
I receive the following error: java.lang.NullPointerException at com.ctc.wstx.sw.BaseNsStreamWriter.doWriteDefaultNs(BaseNsStreamWriter.java:528)
I can't find much information about this, although I'm actually receiving the same error when sending non-authenticated messages, so the problem may not be related directly to Rampart. (I originally had Axis2-1.2 running but I had to roll back to Axis2-1.1.1 due to Rampart compatibility).
Any ideas?

You can find the answer from the following 2 links.
These links are about HTTP authentication, not WS-Security authentication (which is really the preferred way, considering the easy availability of Rampart).

I've been experimenting with the RPCServiceClient above and find that I can successfully invoke the service from a java application, but not from within a Tomcat webapp.
It doesn't like that I pass a filled Object array containing the webservice method arguments.
However I can pass an empty Object array ( Object[] operationArguments = new Object[] { }; ) without problem. Not particularly useful since I do need to pass arguments.
Are there any know issues invoking a service this way?

Spent three days trying to figure this out, and this was the top google result so figured i'd put my solution in here for future searchers.
To get this to work, i had to ensure that rampart WASN'T enabled, otherwise I got all sorts of ClassCastExceptions.
