I struggled with all the answers here, starting with Pascal's solution, which is getting harder with the Java compiler not binding against rt.jar by default any more (and using internal classes makes it specific to that runtime implementation).

I ended up using a variation of his handler class, but wired it into the javax.xml.ws.Service instance like this:

Service service = Service.create(url, qname); service.setHandlerResolver( portInfo -> Collections.singletonList(new SOAPHeaderHandler(handlerArgs)) );
