    Default Java Web Service Client Authentication (limiting the number of failed attempts)

    Hi, as the title describes, I am trying to implement a java web-service client which requires authentication. However, the problem I am facing is as follows:

    When I enter the correct Username and password, its a perfect execution.
    However, when the password is incorrect, the PasswordAuthentication itself makes multiple login attempts and finally results in the user account lock.

    Here is the code snippet I am using:

    try {
    Authenticator.setDefault(new Authenticator() {

    @Override
    protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
    String Uv = TempU;
    String Pv = TempP;
    //String Uv = "tyates";
    //String Pv = "dxs25dxs";
    return new PasswordAuthentication(Uv, Pv.toCharArray());
    }
    });
    I would greatly appreciate an idea or any input on limiting the number of failed login attempts to avoid the user account lock.

    Thanks,
    Pranay.

    Giving you a better view of the module:

    try {
    Authenticator.setDefault(new Authenticator() {

    @Override
    protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
    String Uv = "user";
    String Pv = "password";
    return new PasswordAuthentication(Uv, Pv.toCharArray());
    }
    });
