Greets,

I want to get and set the SOAP Headers for the messages transmited
to and from my webservice.

I saw I was able to retrieve SOAP request and response messages from
MessageContext, though, after I save headers they are not really seen 
in the response message so i wondered if this was the right procedure
or it should be done in another way?

I want to work authentication through SOAP Headers, and this is the trivial
web service implementation class that I am using:

--

public class AuthImpl {

    public boolean authenticate (String username, String password)
throws AuthServiceException {
        
        boolean isValidUser = false;
        try {
            MessageContext mc = MessageContext.getCurrentContext ();
            SOAPMessage req_message = mc.getRequestMessage ();
            SOAPHeader sh = req_message.getSOAPHeader ();
            
            
            // here how can i retrieve the SOAP Header element named 
"AuthRequest" ?
            // ...
            // and then i compare its elements against my user's data base
            // ...
            // and then set isValidUser to true if found..
            
        } catch (SOAPException se) {
            // ...
        }
        
        if (!isValidUser) {
            throw new AuthServiceException (
                    "Authentication failed for supplied credentials");
        }
        
        try {
            MessageContext mc = MessageContext.getCurrentContext ();
            SOAPMessage resp_message = mc.getResponseMessage ();
            SOAPHeader sh = resp_message.getSOAPHeader ();
            
            // and here examine SOAP header element named "AuthResponse" and
            // set username, userid and those values retrieved from database
            // to proper Soap header elements to be returned to caller.. how ?
            
        } catch (SOAPException se) {
            // ...
        }
        
        // set this object values with user info extracted from data base..
        // and then return it..

        return isValidUser;
    }
