----------------------------------
Fix Version/s: community contributions
Moreover, you're free to provide a patch with just one of the WebAppGeneratorDeploymentAspect.java changed (fix the one you need to test the patch), I can then apply it to all the versions it's required to.

> An EJB3 endpoint defined with annotation @WebContext(authMethod="BASIC") results in JBossWS generating web.xml metadata equivalent to:
> <login-config>
> <auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>
> <realm-name>EJBServiceEndpointServlet Realm</realm-name>
> </login-config>
> On one hand this is perfectly acceptable as the realm-name is just a vanity configuration parameter. However there are scenarios where it would be desirable to allow the application to override the default value: we migrated from another web services stack to JBossWS (was JAXWS-RI), some clients of our web services had explicitly configured their HTTP authentication on their end to match on realm name (one instance was Perl SOAP::Lite), quite the same way a web browser stores HTTP authentication along with the realm name such if the realm name changes, the authentication is invalidated - but since these are machines talking to each other rather than a web browser, it becomes a nightmare to debug why a client began receiving 401 errors after our upgrade.
> It would be nice if the org.jboss.wsf.spi.annotation.WebContext annotation had a realmName parameter.
> I attempted to work on a patch, however I'm confused by how many copies of WebAppGeneratorDeploymentAspect.java there seem to be under the jbossws/container and jbossws/framework subversion trees.
