How to use UME authentication in custom EAR application

Hi Gurus,

I am trying to create a simple DC of type Web Module with a sample JSP. I want to use the UME credentials for any user who wishes to use this application. In the web.xml file when I set Authentication method as "BASIC" I never get a login popup to enter credentials. Basically the users could just directly see the JSP I created with no logon required.

I am new to SAP Java programming and needs some help in using AS Java UME to be used for my custom application. Could anyone point me in right direction. Thanks for reading my post.

My portal server is 7.01 SP3 and I am using NWDS CE 7.1 SP14.

Cheers:)
