How to integrate java web applications with windows authentication?

Question

I have seen one or two solutions on Stackoverflow but i did not find the answer i am looking for.
i have figured out the way to query active directory server but i need to know how to pass windows credentials from the browser to the server.
this is a requirement for my project. i need windows authentication for my java application. i know it's a matter of 3-4 steps with IIS and ASP but it has become a nightmare for me.
please help.
looking forward for a sleek and simple solution.
Edit: I am using following technology stack.
front end: AngularJs
Server end: J2EE (Servlet, JSP and REST)
Server: WAS 6
Edit:2
Rephrasing: In IIS and ASP applications IE does not prompt for password. It means IE passess windows credentials to server without prompting. Can i get same stuff with architecture i am using?
