How can I access HTTP headers in Spring-ws endpoint?

My code looks like this:

You can access to HTTP headers in Spring SOAP Endpoint by injecting HttpServletRequest.

For example, you need to get Autorization header (you use Basic authentication).

SOAP request:

POST http://localhost:8025/ws HTTP/1.1
Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate
Content-Type: text/xml;charset=UTF-8
SOAPAction: ""
Authorization: Basic YWRtaW46YWRtaW4=
Content-Length: 287
Host: localhost:8025
Connection: Keep-Alive
User-Agent: Apache-HttpClient/4.1.1 (java 1.5)


   
   
      
      
   

@Endpoint java class

@Endpoint
@Slf4j
public class TokenEndpoint {

    public static final String NAMESPACE_URI = "http://abcdef.com/integration/adapter/services/Token";
    private static final String AUTH_HEADER = "Authorization";

    private final HttpServletRequest servletRequest;
    private final TokenService tokenService;

    public TokenEndpoint(HttpServletRequest servletRequest, TokenService tokenService) {
        this.servletRequest = servletRequest;
        this.tokenService = tokenService;
    }

    @PayloadRoot(namespace = NAMESPACE_URI, localPart = "GetTokenRequest")
    @ResponsePayload
    public GetTokenResponse getToken(@RequestPayload GetTokenRequest request) {
        String auth = servletRequest.getHeader(AUTH_HEADER);
        log.debug("Authorization header is {}", auth);
        return tokenService.getToken(request);
    }
}
