How to secure Cxf jax-ws webservice?

Question

I am new in web services. I have created web services using spring with CXF jax-ws implementation. Suppose I have "HelloWebService" in that I have webmethod "sayHello()" which will return string.

when I hit url:

localhost:8080/ProjName/service/HelloWebService?wsdl

It shows me wsdl on browser.

Now, I want to ask username and password when user hit this url on browser.

How can I do this?
