removing mustUnderstand attribute from headers

[stefan . champailler]

Hello,


I uses Axis2-1.4's wsdl2java to generate a client to a web service that 
does *not* accept the "mustUnderstand" attribute in headers. Obviously, 
sending it headers with mustUnderstand attribute set to something (true or 
fals or 0 or 1) fails. So, I want to make sure that the generated client 
doesn't add the dreaded attribute. I've checked this ML and there are 
several people who contributed information on how to achieve that. But 
none of the proposed solutions seem to work for me. Here's an excerpt of 
my code, with all the solutions I've tested :

    public static void main(String[] inArgs) throws 
AxisFault,AlineFault,RemoteException,Exception {

        AlineBackendServiceStub ws = new 
AlineBackendServiceStub("http://...";); // address hidden for privacy; 
that's the stub, coming right from wsdl2java

        Map m = ws._getServiceClient().getOptions().getProperties();
 m.remove(AddressingConstants.ADD_MUST_UNDERSTAND_TO_ADDRESSING_HEADERS);
        ws._getServiceClient().getOptions().setProperties(m);
 
 
//ws._getServiceClient().getOptions().setProperty(AddressingConstants.ADD_MUST_UNDERSTAND_TO_ADDRESSING_HEADERS,
 
Boolean.FALSE);
 
ws._getServiceClient().getServiceContext().getConfigurationContext().setProperty(AddressingConstants.ADD_MUST_UNDERSTAND_TO_ADDRESSING_HEADERS,
 
Boolean.FALSE);
 
ws._getServiceClient().getServiceContext().getConfigurationContext().createMessageContext().setProperty(AddressingConstants.ADD_MUST_UNDERSTAND_TO_ADDRESSING_HEADERS,
 
Boolean.FALSE);

...

}

None of these work : the mustUnderstand attribute kept written in my 
header (with value "0").

I've also tried to interfere with message context in the generated stub, 
like this :

              // create a message context
              _messageContext = new 
org.apache.axis2.context.MessageContext();

 
_messageContext.setProperty(AddressingConstants.ADD_MUST_UNDERSTAND_TO_ADDRESSING_HEADERS,
 
Boolean.FALSE); // Added by me !!!


Then, I 'depserately) looked at the source code of Axis, and the only 
thing I've seen is this (in WSDLSerializationUtil.java):


    /**
     * Adds a soap header element to a given OMElement
     * @param omFactory - An OMFactory
     * @param list - The arraylist of soapHeaderMessages
     * @param wsoap - The WSDL 2.0 SOAP namespace
     * @param element - The element that the header should be added to
     * @param nameSpaceMap - The namespaceMap
     */
    public static void addSOAPHeaderElements(OMFactory omFactory, 
ArrayList list, OMNamespace wsoap,
                                             OMElement element, Map 
nameSpaceMap) {
        for (int i = 0; i < list.size(); i++) {
            SOAPHeaderMessage soapHeaderMessage = (SOAPHeaderMessage) 
list.get(i);
            OMElement soapHeaderElement =
 omFactory.createOMElement(WSDL2Constants.ATTRIBUTE_HEADER, wsoap);
            QName qName = soapHeaderMessage.getElement();
            soapHeaderElement.addAttribute(omFactory.createOMAttribute(
                    WSDL2Constants.ATTRIBUTE_ELEMENT, null,
                    getPrefix(qName.getNamespaceURI(), nameSpaceMap) + ":" 
+ qName.getLocalPart()));
            soapHeaderElement.addAttribute(omFactory.createOMAttribute(
                    WSDL2Constants.ATTRIBUTE_MUST_UNDERSTAND, null,
 Boolean.toString(soapHeaderMessage.isMustUnderstand())));
            soapHeaderElement.addAttribute(omFactory.createOMAttribute(
                    WSDL2Constants.ATTRIBUTE_REQUIRED, null,
                    Boolean.toString(soapHeaderMessage.isRequired())));
            element.addChild(soapHeaderElement);
        }
    }


I've no idea if this is the place where the serialization does happen, but 
if it is, then I believe the mustUnderstand attribute will always be set 
(to true or false) and never removed.

I know this question has been posted several times and I hope that some of 
you will have enough patience to look at it...

Thanks,

Stefan
