Next, open the generated file ProcessServiceServiceLocator and make the following changes:

1. Modify the constructor to take a username and password:

private java.lang.String username;
private java.lang.String password;

public ProcessServiceServiceLocator(java.lang.String username, java.lang.String password)
{
this.username = username;
this.password = password;
}

2. Remove the existing getProcessService methods, and keep the one with the single argument URL portAddress. This way your generated stubs will work with any url, and not just the one that Axis hard-codes when generating the file. The url should be constructed from a string similar to this: http://<server_name>:8585/portal/webservices/ProcessService

Change the method getProcessService as follows:

public fuego.papi.ws.ProcessService getProcessService(java.net.URL portAddress) throws javax.xml.rpc.ServiceException 
{
  try 
  {
    fuego.papi.ws.ProcessServiceSoapBindingStub _stub = new fuego.papi.ws.ProcessServiceSoapBindingStub(portAddress, this);
    _stub.setPortName(getProcessServiceWSDDServiceName());
    _stub._setProperty(javax.xml.rpc.Stub.USERNAME_PROPERTY, username);
    _stub._setProperty(javax.xml.rpc.Stub.PASSWORD_PROPERTY, password);
    return _stub;
  }
  catch (org.apache.axis.AxisFault e) 
  {
    return null;
  }
}

Compile the classes, jar it up, and you can use this to access PAPI-WS without removing the basic authentication protection from the Process Server portal web-app. Alternatively, you can use this to set basic auth protection on the /webservices url pattern of ALBPM, and then access PAPI-WS with basic authentication.
