Re: [Axis2] - how do a get/set headers in my webservice code?

[Gregor Urbanek]

Hi Jen-Ya,

looking at the code generated by the wsdl2java tool  reveals, where the 
soap envelope gets stored

 org.apache.axis2.context.MessageContext _messageContext = 
getMessageContext();
 _messageContext.setEnvelope(env);

The _messageContext object, which seems to be connected to the 
_configurationContext object ( everything in context of the stub object 
) has the method
getEnvelope to get hold of the soap envelope.

 org.apache.axis2.soap.SOAPEnvelope env = _messageContext.getEnvelope();

Once you have the soap envelope, you hold in your hands all the options
- like get all headers
   env.getHeader().extractAllHeaderBlocks
- insert a new header
   env.getHeader()..addChild( OMNode );

Remember, the soap specific objects like SOAPEnvelope  or SOAPheader are 
derived from the generic OM objects, with all their flexibility.

service, how to get/set header?
 
Thanks for your info.

 // Axis1x Get current message context
   MessageContext ctx = 
org.apache.axis.MessageContext.getCurrentContext();

   // Get SOAP envelope of request
   SOAPEnvelope env = ctx.getRequestMessage().getSOAPEnvelope();

   // Get Header
   SOAPHeaderElement soapHeaderElement = 
env.getHeaderByName(headerNamespace, headerName);
