RESTEasy - How to Set Basic Authentication to ClientRequest

I am using RESTEasy (implementation of JAX-RS). I can't find a way to set basic, preemptive, authentication to ClientRequest.

ClientRequest request = new ClientRequest("<url>");
// -- here I want to add basic-preemptive authentication --
ClientResponse response = request.get();
System.out.println(response.getEntity(String.class));

What the correct way to do it? Is there any other way to do it?

Thank you.

If you look at the constructors in ClientRequest, you will see that one of them takes a string and a ClientExecutor.

So you can do something like this:

ApacheHttpClient4Executor executor = new ApacheHttpClient4Executor();
DefaultHttpClient client  = (DefaultHttpClient) executor.getHttpClient();
client.addRequestInterceptor(new MyPreemptiveAuthInterceptor(), 0);

ClientRequest request = new ClientRequest("http://my-url", executor);
