How do you add a Soap Header defined in a wsdl to a web service client in CXF?

Question

I have a wsdl that defines a soap header that needs to be passed when calling the web service.

The sample SOAP Header is:

   &         


        

Answer 1

Found myself in same situation: wsdl2java generated the header class, and I needed to add it as a SOAP header to the outgoing SOAP request.

My solution in code was as follows (reusing original question's AuthenticationInfo as the header class name):

import org.apache.cxf.frontend.ClientProxy;
import org.apache.cxf.headers.Header;

AuthenticationInfo ai = new AuthenticationInfo();
ai.setUserName("User");
ai.setPassword("");

List
 soapHeaders = new ArrayList
();

Header h1 = new Header(new QName("http://namespace/of/AuthenticationInfo", "AuthenticationInfo"), 
                       ai, new JAXBDataBinding(AuthenticationInfo.class));

soapHeaders.add(h1);

ClientProxy.getClient(port).getRequestContext().put(Header.HEADER_LIST, soapHeaders);
