Hi,
I need to add an element to my SOAP header in a client side handler. In the invoke() method of my handler i can extract the SOAPEnvelope and SOAPHeader. I can create a new SOAPHeaderElement and add that to the soap header. However, I do not want the element to have the mustUnderstand or actor attributes associated with it. Setting the actor to the empty string removes the latter for me, but I can't get rid of the first.
I tried creating a MessageElement object instead of a SOAPHeaderElement but whenever I attempt to add it to my header at runtime I get the message
a SOAPHeader may only have SOAPHeaderElement as its immediate children
Can somebody please help me out with this please? The code (using the MessageElement) is as follows:
MessageElement she = new MessageElement(
new QName("http://some.service.url/schemas/service/", "Operation"), "Form11/File");
Message message = messageContext.getRequestMessage();
SOAPEnvelope envelope = message.getSOAPEnvelope();
MessageElement headerElement = (MessageElement)envelope.getHeader();
headerElement.addChild(she);
It appears the headerElement.addChild invocation is what is causing my error message above. The reason I am casting and using MessageElement is to try and avoid the placing of the mustUnderstand and actor attributes in my generated element.
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks,
Aoife
