Hi Shobha,
Your question for me is "How can I handle the SOAP Header
in my client?" Is it right ???
If it's true, you'll be able to find a good luck by reviewing
the following threads on the axis-user ML.
-"Soap header, Authentication"
-"Deploying the client for session handling using SimpleSessionHandler"
-"Stopping the process of invocation by a Handler"
I believe this ML has very useful info, so you can touch it
by just your attentions or searching on the page ...

Hi Toshiyuki,
Thank you for the approach. I need one more clarification from
you. The client will be sending authentication infomration in the soap
header. Could you let me know how this can be sent by client. I have
written a client which sends this information by using
SOAPHeaderElement(nameObj). Is this the way to proceed.
Regards,
Shobha Rani J
