Question

I generated client java objects using JAX-WS RI. I am trying to make a SOAP request to a web service. Service requires authentication in the header which looks like below: <

When you create your service from classess generated by cxf, add custom interceptor

Service service = new MyService(wsdlURL, new QName("http://myservice.com/MyService/", "MyService"));
MyPort port = service.getMyPort();
Client client = ClientProxy.getClient(port);
// adding interceptor programmatically
client.getOutInterceptors().add(new MyHeaderHandler());

Your can extend AbstractSoapInterceptor to implement your custom interceptor to handle message.

import javax.xml.bind.JAXBException;
import javax.xml.namespace.QName;

import org.apache.cxf.binding.soap.interceptor.AbstractSoapInterceptor;
import org.apache.cxf.headers.Header;
import org.apache.cxf.jaxb.JAXBDataBinding;
import org.apache.cxf.phase.Phase;

import com.rpc.core.utils.DomainContext;

public class MyHeaderHandler extends AbstractSoapInterceptor {

    /**
    * Constructor
    */
    public MyHeaderHandler() {
        super(Phase.PRE_LOGICAL);

    }

    @Override
    public void handleMessage(org.apache.cxf.binding.soap.SoapMessage message) throws org.apache.cxf.interceptor.Fault {
        try {
            message.getHeaders().add(new Header(new QName("MyCustomHeader"),"value", new JAXBDataBinding(String.class)));
             } catch (JAXBException e) {
                 e.printStackTrace();
             }
         };
     }
}
