I have a webservice with basic HTTP authentication on a JBoss server. Is there a way to retrieve the authentication credentials (username, pw) supplied by the caller from within the webservice?

Have you checked the HTTP headers? There should be an “Authorization” header that indicates that Basic Authentication was used. It should also include a Base64-encoded String representing the username/password.
