-> sunappserv
Comment 2 Vince Kraemer 2006-07-29 21:10:11 UTC 
What output were you expecting?  It looks like the servlet is a web service...

What is it supposed to do when a regular http GET lands on its doorstep?

Peter: any insights on this one?
Comment 3 Vince Kraemer 2006-07-31 18:19:56 UTC 
DIGEST is unsupported by GF...  This is news to me. Opened
https://glassfish.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=881.
Comment 4 Vince Kraemer 2006-08-02 21:36:00 UTC 
It looks like the web app project would need to ask (via
J2eePlatform.isToolSupported???) whether a server supports DIGEST authentication
[which is optional] to solve this completely.

Probably requires new constant on J2eePlatform... DIGEST_AUTHENTICATION.

Note current implementation of J2eePlatformImpl in sjsas returns the correct
value for a query regarding digest authentication [false] today.

GF v2/SJSAS 9.1 will fail deployment for web apps that use digest authentication.
Comment 5 Petr Jiricka 2006-12-21 14:23:24 UTC 
Stepan, what do you think about Vince's suggestion? How would the IDE use this
constant - at which point would it check it? I suggest that this could be added
as a check to the global tasklist, which will be a part of the IDE in NB 6.0.
Comment 6 Petr Hejl 2007-09-12 16:19:44 UTC 
It seems to me like missing api for the server capabilities - issue 115275.
Comment 7 Petr Hejl 2007-11-01 13:57:14 UTC 
Tomas do you think its doable for 6.0? I'm bit conservative as it could lead to (small) changes in server plugins.
Comment 8 Tomas Mysik 2007-11-01 14:11:23 UTC 
For 6.0? Unfortunately I don't think so.
Comment 9 David Konecny 2009-04-22 21:37:28 UTC 
I think this issue is resolved now - GF fails deploying app with DIGEST authentication. Feel free to reopen if you disagree.
