Here the expected SOA

Answer 1

I have the same issue and solved by the below fragement:

ServiceSoapStub clientStub = (ServiceSoapStub)new ServiceLocator().getServiceSoap(url);
org.apache.axis.message.SOAPHeaderElement header = new org.apache.axis.message.SOAPHeaderElement("http://www.abc.com/SSsample/","AuthHeader");
SOAPElement node = header.addChildElement("Username");
node.addTextNode("aat");
SOAPElement node2 = header.addChildElement("Password");
node2.addTextNode("sd6890");

((ServiceSoapStub) clientStub).setHeader(header);

Answer 2

If you have an object representing the Authentication container with userid and password, you can do it like so:

import org.apache.axis.client.Stub;

//...

MyAuthObj authObj = new MyAuthObj("userid","password");
((Stub) yourServiceObject).setHeader("urn://your/name/space/here", "partName", authObj);

Answer 3

Maybe you can use org.apache.axis.client.Stub.setHeader method? Something like this:

MyServiceLocator wsLocator = new MyServiceLocator();
MyServiceSoap ws = wsLocator.getMyServiceSoap(new URL("http://localhost/MyService.asmx"));

//add SOAP header for authentication
SOAPHeaderElement authentication = new SOAPHeaderElement("http://mc1.com.br/","Authentication");
SOAPHeaderElement user = new SOAPHeaderElement("http://mc1.com.br/","User", "string");
SOAPHeaderElement password = new SOAPHeaderElement("http://mc1.com.br/","Password", "string");
authentication.addChild(user);
authentication.addChild(password);
((Stub)ws).setHeader(authentication);

//now you can use ws to invoke web services...
