Set custom SOAP header using Axis 1.4

问题

I'm trying to consume a .NET 2.0 web service using Axis. I generated the web services client using Eclipse WST Plugin and it seems ok so far.

Here the expected SOAP header:

<soap:Header>
<Authentication xmlns="http://mc1.com.br/">
    <User>string</User>
    <Password>string</Password>
</Authentication>
</soap:Header>

I didn't find any documentation on how to configure this header from an Axis client. When I generated the client using Visual Studio C# Express 2008, it generates a class named Authentication with two String attributes (User and Password) and all the client methods receive an object of this class as first parameter, but it did not happen with Axis WS client.

How can I set this header in my client calls?

回答1:

Maybe you can use org.apache.axis.client.Stub.setHeader method? Something like this:

MyServiceLocator wsLocator = new MyServiceLocator();
MyServiceSoap ws = wsLocator.getMyServiceSoap(new URL("http://localhost/MyService.asmx"));

//add SOAP header for authentication
SOAPHeaderElement authentication = new SOAPHeaderElement("http://mc1.com.br/","Authentication");
SOAPHeaderElement user = new SOAPHeaderElement("http://mc1.com.br/","User", "string");
SOAPHeaderElement password = new SOAPHeaderElement("http://mc1.com.br/","Password", "string");
authentication.addChild(user);
authentication.addChild(password);
((Stub)ws).setHeader(authentication);

//now you can use ws to invoke web services...

If you have an object representing the Authentication container with userid and password, you can do it like so:

import org.apache.axis.client.Stub;

//...

MyAuthObj authObj = new MyAuthObj("userid","password");
((Stub) yourServiceObject).setHeader("urn://your/name/space/here", "partName", authObj);

I have the same issue and solved by the below fragement:

ServiceSoapStub clientStub = (ServiceSoapStub)new ServiceLocator().getServiceSoap(url);
org.apache.axis.message.SOAPHeaderElement header = new org.apache.axis.message.SOAPHeaderElement("http://www.abc.com/SSsample/","AuthHeader");
SOAPElement node = header.addChildElement("Username");
node.addTextNode("aat");
SOAPElement node2 = header.addChildElement("Password");
node2.addTextNode("sd6890");

((ServiceSoapStub) clientStub).setHeader(header);
