[Jersey] Authenticating a REST user with Tomcat

Hello

 

I am a REST newbie and I'm in the process of setting up a web service with
Jersey. I already have client and server communicating with each other by
sending XML requests. And I would like the user of the client, an android
app, to be authenticated by the server for a set period of time and then
have to re-authenticate after that time has expired.

 

Can anyone suggest anything?

 

Thanks
