Bitcoin/Dogecoin Daemon RPC authentication - 401 status error

Question

I'm trying to connect to a local dogecoin server with jsonRPC.

The dogecoin daemon is launched with the following parameters:

dogecoin-qt -server -testnet -gen -debug -debugnet -printtoconsole -rpcuser=user -rpcpassword=user

The following Java code is used to connect to the server:

I'm using com.googlecode.jsonrpc4j.JsonRpcHttpClient

            JsonRpcHttpClient client = new JsonRpcHttpClient(new URL("http://user:user@localhost:22555"));

        String response = "";
        client.invoke("getinfo()", response);
        System.out.println(response);

It just won't accept any credentials at all, I've tried setting them on the conf file, command-line, etc.

Server returned HTTP response code: 401 for URL: http://user:user@localhost:22555

Any ideas ?

Ok, it seems that for some reason I didn't read this essential part:

The easiest way to tell Java to use HTTP Basic authentication is to set a default Authenticator:

    final String rpcuser ="...";
  final String rpcpassword ="...";

  Authenticator.setDefault(new Authenticator() {
      protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
          return new PasswordAuthentication (rpcuser, rpcpassword.toCharArray());
      }
  });
