Class FormAuthenticator

java.lang.Object

org.imixs.melman.FormAuthenticator

All Implemented Interfaces:

jakarta.ws.rs.client.ClientRequestFilter

public class FormAuthenticator
extends Object
implements jakarta.ws.rs.client.ClientRequestFilter

This RequestFilter performs a form based authentication. The filter can be used with a jakarta.ws.rs.client.Client.

The FormAuthenticator provides two constructors. One expects the base API url and a valid JSESSIONID, the other expects the base API url with userid/password and will request a JESSIONID automatically.

We t use the CookieHandler.setDefault(manger) here. Maybe we should refine the usage because for different threads possible the same CookieHandler is used. See details here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16305486/cookiemanager-for-multiple-threads To Avoid this problem we use a internal system to only store the JSESSIONID and set the cookie per each request.
