SOAP headers and WSDL

[Josh Emmons]

I have a service which adds SOAP headers to its response by adding them 
directly to the SOAPEnvelope object which is, itself, retrieved from the 
MessageContext.  The headers show up perfectly when I view them in the 
SOAP Monitor.  My problem is that I need to be able to read the headers 
in a .NET client.

Near as I can tell, the only way to make .NET aware of the headers is to 
define them in my WSDL.  But the auto-generated WSDL of Axis does not 
include the headers, and I really do not want to use manually written 
WSDLs. So:

Is there some way in my service to add the headers in such a way that 
Axis is aware of them and includes them in the auto-generated WSDL?

If not, is there some way to extend the ?wsdl autogen process so that I 
could manually include the header info but autogen the rest?  I know how 
to make ?wsdl spit out a pre-made file, but I would still like it to do 
most of the heavy lifting on its own, if possible.

If not, does anyone know of a way to get to the SOAP headers or even the 
raw SOAP message itself in .NET so that I don't have to rely on WSDL 
definitions to find my headers?
