Calling web services from send ports without using orchestration is not
supported at this time. There are some posts on this group about how you
can write a custom component to promote a couple of properties to get it to
work, but in general, you are encourage to use orchestration to talk to web
services.

In your orchestration you can set context properties on the message for the
username and password, or you can set these on the web service send port
properties after the port gets created (when you deploy the orchestration).
