How do I add a SOAP Header using Java JAX-WS

Question

A typical SOAP client request using JAX-WS might be

FooService service = new FooService();
FooPort port = service.getFooPort();
FooPayload payload = new FooP

Thanks Nuno,

Just as soon as I work out how to log in properly to stackoverflow.com I'll do the right thing with your reply.

In the mean time here's the code I ended up with:

FooService service = new FooService();
service.setHandlerResolver(new HandlerResolver() {
    public List getHandlerChain(PortInfo portInfo) {
        List handlerList = new ArrayList();
        handlerList.add(new RGBSOAPHandler());
        return handlerList;
    }
});
FooPort port = service.getFooPort();
FooPayload payload = new FooPayload();
payload.setHatSize(3);
payload.setAlias("The Hat");
...
port.processRequest(payload);

and

class RGBSOAPHandler implements SOAPHandler {

    public Set getHeaders() {
        return new TreeSet();
    }

    public boolean handleMessage(SOAPMessageContext context) {
        Boolean outboundProperty = 
            (Boolean) context.get(MessageContext.MESSAGE_OUTBOUND_PROPERTY);
        if (outboundProperty.booleanValue()) {
            SOAPMessage message = context.getMessage();
            try {
                SOAPEnvelope envelope = context.getMessage()
                        .getSOAPPart().getEnvelope();
                SOAPFactory factory = SOAPFactory.newInstance();
                String prefix = "X";
                String uri = "http://...wsssecurity...";
                SOAPElement securityElem = 
                        factory.createElement("Security",prefix,uri);
                SOAPElement tokenElem = 
                        factory.createElement("BinarySecurityToken",prefix,uri);
                tokenElem.addTextNode("kjh...897=");
                securityElem.addChildElement(tokenElem);
                SOAPHeader header = envelope.addHeader();
                header.addChildElement(securityElem);

            } catch (Exception e) {
                System.out.println("Exception in handler: " + e);
            }
        } else {
            // inbound
        }
        return true;
    }

    public boolean handleFault(SOAPMessageContext context) {
        throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Not supported yet.");
    }

    public void close(MessageContext context) {
        //
    }
}
