I have a SOAP web service that is secured with Spring Security using basic authentication.
I've written a Swing application that accesses this web service. When the application starts, a login dialog appears where the user enters its credentials. When the user clicks the Login button, the JAXWS client is created with the given credentials. I also want to give the possibility to the logged user to logout. Spring Security requires to access a URL in order to logout. How does that work in a standalone application? Should this be done through CXF or using a simple HTTP client?
