how to get data from OData from within JSP

Team

Is it possible to GET OData data from within JSP code? It would GET from the local Windchill (localhost). 

Do I have an authentication problem?

As for authentication, I can see how in the JSP to get the username. Is the usr:pwd needed in the OData URL when the call is within Windchill?

Usually you need login with a password to open new session. 

I would say if you communicate with windchill you need to authenticate.

But the user is already authenticated, for example

domain.com/Windchill/wtcore/jsp/test/dynAuth.jsp

or domain.com/Windchill/app/#wtcore/jsp/test/dynAuth.jsp

The user will not want to enter her password again. I can get the username from "<%=request.getRemoteUser()%>" and insert it in the WRS URL, but  not the password.

No, scrub this question because there could not be a way to get the password here. It would be a major security problem.
