Description

CXF should provide an easy way to configure the basic authentication for a JAXRS client programmatically, e.g.:

      Client client = ClientBuilder.newClient().register(new java.net.Authenticator() {
         @Override
         protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
            return new PasswordAuthentication("myuser", "mypassword".toCharArray());
         }
      });
