POXML-RPC authentication (http vs. XmlRpcNotAuthorizedException)
text
Body
copied!<p>I could not find an exact answer to my question (either google or here), so my apologies if this is a repeat that I missed:</p> <p>I am writing a XML-RPC server using Apache's XML-RPC libraries (which I'm regretting a bit) in Java that needs to conform to a given specification. With authentication, the server generates an org.apache.xmlrpc.common.XmlRpcNotAuthorizedException. This is not the behaviour that is required. I would like to return an HTTP error 401 (not authenticated) and 403 (forbidden) instead. However, Apache keeps on throwing these exceptions and I cannot find a way around it.</p> <p>For example response received after sending correct username/password:</p> <pre><code>HTTP/1.1 200 OK Content-Length:362 Content-Type:text/xml Server:Jetty(7.x.y-SNAPSHOT) <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <methodResponse> ...correct response information here </methodResponse> </code></pre> <p>...and wrong username and password:</p> <pre><code>HTTP/1.1 200 OK Content-Length:252 Content-Type:text/xml Server:Jetty(7.x.y-SNAPSHOT) <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <methodResponse> ...xmlrpc exception here <methodResponse> </code></pre> <p>I don't want "HTTP/1.1 200 OK", I want "HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized"</p> <p>I was considering inheriting Apache's ReflectiveXmlRpcHandler (or something similar) and trying to intercept the exception, but I was wondering if someone else have found a better idea to this problem.</p> <p>Any ideas?</p>
