    <p>I'm new to web services in general and have been doing a lot of research on it, but I'm currently unable to capture request headers I need for authentication purposes.</p> <p>Here's the scenario: I have an Android client calling a login() method on my JAX-RS RESTful web service, after adding a username/password combination to the request headers. The web service (which runs on JBoss AS 7.1) should then capture those headers.</p> <p>The problem is everytime this login() method is called, the request seems to have not being serviced yet, thus leading to an IllegalStateException upon executing WebServiceContext.getMessageContext().</p> <p>I've tried adding @PostConstruct annotation to the method's header, but to no avail. When I do this the method doesn't seem to be initialized at all. Instead I have a ClassNotFoundException upon calling it.</p> <p>How can I get through this issue? I've been stuck on this for days and tried multiple different approaches both at the client and the web service to capture those headers, but they would either not apply to the project's architecture or simply not work as expected.</p> <p>Here's the service's interface:</p> <pre><code>@ApplicationPath("/apppath") @Path("/wspath") public interface LoginService { @GET @Path("/login") @Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON) public String login(); } </code></pre> <p>Here's the service's implementation:</p> <pre><code>@Stateless @Local(LoginService.class) public class LoginServiceImpl implements LoginService { @Resource WebServiceContext wsContext; @Override public String login() { // This line throws an IllegalStateException. MessageContext msgContext = wsContext.getMessageContext(); // TODO: Capture authentication data from headers. @SuppressWarnings("unchecked") Map&lt;String, List&lt;String&gt;&gt; headers = (Map&lt;String, List&lt;String&gt;&gt;) msgContext.get(MessageContext.HTTP_REQUEST_HEADERS); // Dummy return for testing purposes. return "It works" + headers.toString(); } } </code></pre> <p>And here's a simple JUnit test code I'm working on to try to fix the problem on client side.</p> <pre><code>public class LoginServiceTest { @Test public void test() { String mEmail = "a@a.com"; String mPassword = "aaaa"; HttpGet request = new HttpGet("http://localhost:8080/apppath/wspath/login"); String auth = Base64.encodeBytes((mEmail + ":" + mPassword).getBytes()); request.addHeader("Authorization", "Basic " + auth); HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient(); try { InputStream inputStream = httpClient.execute(request).getEntity().getContent(); BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inputStream)); String wsReturn; while ((wsReturn = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) { System.out.println(wsReturn); } } catch (IllegalStateException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } catch (ClientProtocolException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } } </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
