I have a web service developed using AXIS deployed on Weblogic 8.1

Another web application cotaining GUI deployed on Weblogic 10 tries to access this web service through code.
This piece of code to invoke the web service is written in Action Class present inside web application. (Struts is used in GUI based web app)

When the code tries to invoke web service I am getting following error.

(401)Unauthorized xxx

The web service URL is as follows:
http://10.140.96.5:7808/services/ucs...7_1-v0001.soap

However
When I try to hit the webservice URL directly on browser login window appears where same username/password I provide which are passed in code to invoke the web service. I get the success page indicating that web service is invoked on hitting enter.

The method used in UCS77_1ProcessOfficialChangeSaveDetailsAction.java to invoke web service is as follows:
public String invokeAx
(
String xmlMessage,
String webServiceURL,
String webServiceOperation,
String username,
String password)
{
String xmlResponse = null;
Call webServiceCall = null;
InputStream input = new ByteArrayInputStream(xmlMessage.getBytes());
Service service = new Service();
try
{
webServiceCall = (Call) service.createCall();
SOAPEnvelope env = new SOAPEnvelope(input);
SOAPEnvelope resEnv = null;
webServiceCall.setTargetEndpointAddress(new URL(webServiceURL));
webServiceCall.setOperationName(new QName(webServiceOperation));
webServiceCall.setUsername(username);
webServiceCall.setPassword(password);
try
{
resEnv = webServiceCall.invoke(env);
}
catch (AxisFault e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
Message responseMessage = webServiceCall.getResponseMessage();
SOAPEnvelope soapXml = (SOAPEnvelope) responseMessage.getSOAPEnvelope();
xmlResponse = new String(soapXml.toString().getBytes(AppConstants.UT F8),AppConstants.UTF8);
}

if (xmlResponse == null)
{
xmlResponse = resEnv.toString();
}
}
catch (Exception e1)
{
e1.printStackTrace();
}

return xmlResponse;
}

Both the weblogic server reside on two different AIX machines.

Can anybody tell what's the problem while invoking web service through code?

One of my developers is facing the exact same problem and has been unable to resolve it. I was wondering if you were able to resolve it and if yes could you share the resolution? I'll greatly appreciate your help

Unfortunately I have not yet got the solution for this.
But I guess it is a problem with the version of weblogic.
The code works on weblogic 8.1 but has problems with weblogic version 10

[ashu47202]

Bingo!!!
I think we have got the solution to the problem.

Modify code provided above to invoke the web service with following 2 lines of code:

webServiceCall.setProperty(Call.USERNAME_PROPERTY, username);
webServiceCall.setProperty(Call.PASSWORD_PROPERTY, password);

This should resolve the problem of unauthorized xxx

I had the same problem today.... This helped me:

For JAXWS:

HelloService service = new HelloService();
Hello proxy = (service.getHelloPort());
((BindingProvider)proxy).getRequestContext().put(BindingProvider.USERNAME_PROPERTY, "hello");
((BindingProvider)proxy).getRequestContext().put(BindingProvider.PASSWORD_PROPERTY, "world");
