JAX-WS - Adding SOAP Headers

Question

I am trying to create a standalone client to consume some web services. I must add my username and password to the SOAP Header. I tried adding the credentials as follows:

Answer 1

Data can be transferred in SOAP header (JaxWS) by using @WebParam(header = true):

@WebMethod(operationName = "SendRequest", action = "http://abcd.ru/")
@Oneway
public void sendRequest(
    @WebParam(name = "Message", targetNamespace = "http://abcd.ru/", partName = "Message")
    Data message,
    @WebParam(name = "ServiceHeader", targetNamespace = "http://abcd.ru/", header = true, partName = "ServiceHeader")
    Header serviceHeader);

If you want to generate a client with SOAP Headers, you need to use -XadditionalHeaders:

wsimport -keep -Xnocompile -XadditionalHeaders -Xdebug http://12.34.56.78:8080/TestHeaders/somewsdl?wsdl -d /home/evgeny/DEVELOPMENT/JAVA/gen

If don't need @Oneway web service, you can use Holder:

@WebMethod(operationName = "SendRequest", action = "http://abcd.ru/")
public void sendRequest(
    @WebParam(name = "Message", targetNamespace = "http://abcd.ru/", partName = "Message")
    Data message,
    @WebParam(name = "ServiceHeader", targetNamespace = "http://abcd.ru/", header = true, partName = "ServiceHeader")
    Holder<Header> serviceHeader);

I'm adding this answer because none of the others worked for me.

I had to add a Header Handler to the Proxy:

import java.util.Set;
import java.util.TreeSet;

import javax.xml.namespace.QName;
import javax.xml.soap.SOAPElement;
import javax.xml.soap.SOAPEnvelope;
import javax.xml.soap.SOAPFactory;
import javax.xml.soap.SOAPHeader;
import javax.xml.ws.handler.MessageContext;
import javax.xml.ws.handler.soap.SOAPHandler;
import javax.xml.ws.handler.soap.SOAPMessageContext;

public class SOAPHeaderHandler implements SOAPHandler<SOAPMessageContext> {

    private final String authenticatedToken;

    public SOAPHeaderHandler(String authenticatedToken) {
        this.authenticatedToken = authenticatedToken;
    }

    public boolean handleMessage(SOAPMessageContext context) {
        Boolean outboundProperty =
                (Boolean) context.get(MessageContext.MESSAGE_OUTBOUND_PROPERTY);
        if (outboundProperty.booleanValue()) {
            try {
                SOAPEnvelope envelope = context.getMessage().getSOAPPart().getEnvelope();
                SOAPFactory factory = SOAPFactory.newInstance();
                String prefix = "urn";
                String uri = "urn:xxxx";
                SOAPElement securityElem =
                        factory.createElement("Element", prefix, uri);
                SOAPElement tokenElem =
                        factory.createElement("Element2", prefix, uri);
                tokenElem.addTextNode(authenticatedToken);
                securityElem.addChildElement(tokenElem);
                SOAPHeader header = envelope.addHeader();
                header.addChildElement(securityElem);
            } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        } else {
            // inbound
        }
        return true;
    }

    public Set<QName> getHeaders() {
        return new TreeSet();
    }

    public boolean handleFault(SOAPMessageContext context) {
        return false;
    }

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

In the proxy, I just add the Handler:

BindingProvider bp =(BindingProvider)basicHttpBindingAuthentication;
bp.getBinding().getHandlerChain().add(new SOAPHeaderHandler(authenticatedToken));
bp.getBinding().getHandlerChain().add(new SOAPLoggingHandler());

Also, if you're using Maven to build your project, you'll need to add the following dependency:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.sun.xml.ws</groupId>
        <artifactId>jaxws-rt</artifactId>
        <version>{currentversion}/version>
    </dependency>

This provides you with the class com.sun.xml.ws.developer.WSBindingProvider.

Answer 4

you can add the username and password to the SOAP Header

BindingProvider prov = (BindingProvider)port;
prov.getRequestContext().put(BindingProvider.ENDPOINT_ADDRESS_PROPERTY,
                "your end point"));
Map<String, List<String>> headers = new HashMap<String, List<String>>();
prov.getRequestContext().put(BindingProvider.USERNAME_PROPERTY, "myusername");
prov.getRequestContext().put(BindingProvider.PASSWORD_PROPERTY, "mypassword");
prov.getRequestContext().put(MessageContext.HTTP_REQUEST_HEADERS, headers);
