Because you mentioned CXF then I suppose you meant cxf-codegen-plugin. It's a bit of a hack but it works.
HTTP authentication credentials can be provided using java.net.Authenticator. One need to just define his own Authenticator class which overrides getPasswordAuthentication(..) method. Then it has to be set as default Authenticator. As far as I know it can't be done declaratively (for instance using environment properties) only programatically using Authenticator.setDefault(..).
In order to call Authenticator.setDefault(..) I would use CXF extension mechanism. Create separate maven project with similar class:
public class AuthenticatorReplacer {
public AuthenticatorReplacer(Bus bus) {
java.net.Authenticator.setDefault(new java.net.Authenticator() {
@Override
protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
return new PasswordAuthentication("test", "test123"
.toCharArray());
}
});
}
}
and file src\main\resources\META-INF\cxf\bus-extensions.txt with contents:
org.example.AuthenticatorReplacer::false
Then add newly created project as a dependency to cxf-codegen-plugin:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
<artifactId>cxf-codegen-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${project.version}</version>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.example</groupId>
<artifactId>cxf-authenticator-replacer</artifactId>
<version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
...
</plugin>
This way AuthenticatorReplacer is initialized by CXF extension mechanism and replaces default Authenticator with ours.
