I am trying to figure out the best way to move the following bit of code into a spring .xml configuration file: (force async and disable chunkng so NTLM works)
final WSSoap port = new WS().getWSSoap();
final Client client = ClientProxy.getClient(port);
final HTTPConduit httpConduit = (HTTPConduit) client.getConduit();
final HTTPClientPolicy httpClientPolicy = httpConduit.getClient();
httpClientPolicy.setAllowChunking(false);
httpClientPolicy.setAutoRedirect(true);
final BindingProvider bindingProvider = (BindingProvider) port;
final Map<String, Object> requestContext = bindingProvider.getRequestContext();
final Credentials credentials = new NTCredentials("username", "password", "workstation", "domain");
requestContext.put(Credentials.class.getName(), credentials);
requestContext.put(BindingProvider.ENDPOINT_ADDRESS_PROPERTY, "http://www.example.com/");
requestContext.put(AsyncHTTPConduit.USE_ASYNC, Boolean.TRUE);
I've looked over the CXF configuration page (here: http://cxf.apache.org/docs/configuration.html), but I don't see any way to do what I need.
Is there a clean way to handle NTLM authentication for CXF using spring?
Update: I've figured out how to force an async conduit, using the following:
<cxf:bus name="asyncBus">
<cxf:properties>
<entry key="use.async.http.conduit" value="true"/>
</cxf:properties>
</cxf:bus>
<http-conf:conduit name="{http://www.webserviceX.NET}GlobalWeatherSoapPort.http-conduit">
<http-conf:client AllowChunking="false" Connection="Keep-Alive"/>
</http-conf:conduit>
<jaxws:client id="weatherClient" bus="asyncBus"
address="http://www.webservicex.com/globalweather.asmx"
serviceClass="net.webservicex.GlobalWeatherSoap"/>
However I am still having trouble accessing the request context so I can add my NTLM credentials.
I wanted to answer my own question. After many, many hours debugging and stepping through Apache CXF code, I have found a solution. The following spring configuration will enable NTLM authentication over an async conduit:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!--

<jaxws:client id="weatherClient" bus="asyncBus"

serviceClass="net.webservicex.GlobalWeatherSoap">
<jaxws:properties>
<entry key="org.apache.http.auth.Credentials">
<bean class="org.apache.http.auth.NTCredentials">

</entry>
</jaxws:properties>
</jaxws:client>
</beans>
It is also possible to specify the username, password, domain, and workstation in the NTCredentials
constructor, if necessary.
