It's been a few years since I've used Axis - then, Axis depended on Apache commons httpclient 3. From reading some mailing lists, it looks like this is still the case . (If not, the last paragraph should provide some welcome relief.).
The functionality that you are describing is not a feature of the OS, but of Internet Explorer. You should probably gain a better understanding of how "Windows Authentication" really works (aka NLTM HTTP Authentication). JCIFS is removing the ServletFilter that provides this functionality to servlet containers.
However, their basic description of how NTLM HTTP Authentication works is helpful.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
