Talk to sharepoint through its web services

Hi

I created a java code to get a list of files from sharepoint serverusing SSL.

Handshake is done correctly, but i'm still not able to get successfully connected.

Here is the message i'm getting:

You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied because your Web browser is sending a WWW-Authenticate header field that the Web server is not configured to accept.

Here is the code i'm using:
package httpclient;

import java.net.URL;
import java.security.Security;
import java.util.Iterator;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient;

Hi,

I can retrieve getlist collection and getlistitems using the post method. but when access getlistitems with one list , no items are shown, but there is more than one items exists for that listname.
That means if there are list1, list2, list3 document, I get the list items for list2 only. List 1 and List 3 have more than 1 sub items but following ouput is generated when we given list1 and list3 as listname.

For list2

input xml is

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/"><soapenv:Header/><soapenv:Body><soap:GetListItems><soap:listName>List2</soap:listName><soap:viewName></soap:viewName><soap:query></soap:query><soap:viewFields></soap:viewFields><soap:rowLimit></soap:rowLimit><soap:webID></soap:webID></soap:GetListItems></soapenv:Body></soapenv:Envelope>

out xml is

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"><soap:Body><GetListItemsResponse xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/"><GetListItemsResult><listitems xmlns:s='uuid:BDC6E3F0-6DA3-11d1-A2A3-00AA00C14882'

xmlns:rs='urn:schemas-microsoft-com:rowset'
xmlns:z='#RowsetSchema'>
<rs:data ItemCount="9">
<z:row ows_LinkFilename='Finance' ......................................................................... etc

Output Generated

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"><soap:Body><GetListItemsResponse xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/"><GetListItemsResult><listitems xmlns:s='uuid:BDC6E3F0-6DA3-11d1-A2A3-00AA00C14882'

<rs:data ItemCount="0">
</rs:data>
</listitems></GetListItemsResult></GetListItemsResponse></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>

The expected value for ItemCount is 4 for list1 and list3. We couldn't find any solution for getting different output with same code....
Please help me for this issue ......
