I am trying to transmit a SOAP header from my Axis client, but it is not working. Below is the manually modified stub code that tries to add the header to the SOAP message:
Document doc = XMLUtils.newDocument();
Element root = doc.createElementNS(HEADER_NAMESPACE, HEADER_LOCAL_NAME);
Element subElem = doc.createElementNS(HEADER_NAMESPACE, LOCAL_NAME);
Text text = doc.createTextNode("hello");
subElem.appendChild(text);
root.appendChild(subElem);
SOAPHeaderElement headerElement = new SOAPHeaderElement(root);
_call.addHeader(headerElement);
...
_call.invoke();
Tracing through the code for Call.invoke(), the header transmission portion is completely skipped. See below:
public void invoke() throws AxisFault {
...
// Determine client target service
if (myService != null) {
// If we have a SOAPService kicking around, use that directly
msgContext.setService(myService);
} else {
if (portName != null) { <--- This if block is executed because portname is set
// No explicit service. If we have a target service name,
// try that.
msgContext.setTargetService(portName.getLocalPart());
} else { <--- The else block is skipped so headers are not added
// No direct config, so try the namespace of the first body.
reqMsg = msgContext.getRequestMessage();
reqEnv = reqMsg.getSOAPEnvelope();
// If we have headers to insert, do so now.
for (int i = 0 ; myHeaders != null && i < myHeaders.size() ; i++ )
reqEnv.addHeader((SOAPHeaderElement)myHeaders.get(i));
...
}
Please let me know what is the recommended way to add a SOAP header in client code.
