How to consume secure java webservice in Asp.net?

Answer 1

You should be able to consume the service much as like you would any other kind of web service as long as you don't run into any interoperability issues between the two.

If you have the necessary WSDL file that actually describes your Java Web Service, then you can include a Web Reference within your Project in Visual Studio by right-clicking on your Project and selecting "Add Web Reference" or "Add Service Reference" (depending on your version of Visual Studio). See the links below for a few examples : 

• Consuming a Java EE Web Service in ASP.NET
• Invoking a Java Web Service in ASP.NET

If the service is a SOAP Web Service, then you'll want to consume it as you would in the following tutorials : 

• Consuming a JAVA SOAP Web Service in ASP.NET

You may want to take a look at the following tutorial on CodeProject :

• Authenticate .NET Web Services with Custom SOAP Header

It basically details creating a custom class that you are going to use to pass your username and password within your SOAP Request to handle authentication.

Did you see the link that I posted? It covers how to add the appropriate authentication credentials into the header of your Web Service Request. You can also check out Microsoft's basic example of Adding Security Credentials to a SOAP Message :

//Create a UsernameToken to store your Credentials
UsernameToken userToken = new UsernameToken(userName, password, PasswordOption.SendHashed);

//Get the Context for the SOAP Request being made
YourService serviceProxy = new YourService();
SoapContext requestContext = serviceProxy.RequestSoapContext;

//Add your credentials token to your Request
requestContext.Security.Tokens.Add(userToken);

//Call your actual Web Service
serviceProxy.YourApproriateMethodHere();
