Hi all, was the way SOAP header handling changed between Axis 1.0 and the current version (nightly build Dec 12)? I had a WSDL (and generated classes, own application) that worked. Using the current version it seems that the handling of message parts that are definded as SOAP header in the SOAP binding of the WSDL are now treated as normal parameters.
Here is how the message is defined. The last part (uniqueRequestIdentifier) shall be placed in the SOAP header as defined in th SOAP binding. <message name='AmountCharging_chargeAmountRequest'> <part name='endUserIdentifier' type='EndUserIdentifier'/> <part name='amount' type='xsd:float'/> <part name='billingText' type='xsd:string'/> <part name='uniqueRequestIdentifier' type='UniqueRequestIdentifier' /> </message> The SOAP binding part of the WSDL: <operation name='chargeAmount'> <soap:operation soapAction='AmountCharging#chargeAmount'/> <input> <soap:body message='AmountCharging_chargeAmountRequest' parts='endUserIdentifier amount billingText' encodingStyle='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/' namespace = 'AmountCharging' use='encoded'/> <soap:header message='AmountCharging_chargeAmountRequest' part='uniqueRequestIdentifier' use='literal' /> </input> <output> <soap:body message='AmountCharging_chargeAmountResponse' parts='' encodingStyle='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/' namespace = 'AmountCharging' use='encoded'/> <soap:header message='AmountCharging_chargeAmountResponse' part='uniqueRequestIdentifier' use='literal' /> </output> ...... cut for brevity ..... Axis V1.0 worked (at least the request, the response had problems with the return of the header) and sent the request id as a header. The current version sends it as parameter and requires a holder class (because a header is sent back by the server). What is the general direction how to handle SOAP headers according to the above WSDL? Or will Axis support headers only that were set explicitly using a "addParameterAsHeader()" call?
