Re: Yet another Custom Header question

[tony . q . weddle]

I didn't see that href before. I have no idea why Axis is doing that. Try creating the complete header, before passing it to the Call object, something like:

            SOAPHeaderElement header = new SOAPHeaderElement( "urn:uGlobalSOAPTypes", "TSecurity" );
            try {
                SOAPElement child;
                child = header.addChildElement( "UserName");
                child.addTextNode( this.username );
                child = header.addChildElement( "Password");
                child.addTextNode( this.password );
            } catch ( SOAPException e ) {
                throw new AxisFault( "Error adding security header", e );
            }

If that doesn't work, try writing a handler and add the header directly to the SOAP envelope there, perhaps passing the user name and password (or a TSecurity object) in the message context.

Call.registerTypeMapping is being called for TSecurity in the Stub class in Stub.createCall().  I've walked through that code and see it's being properly set.
 
HTTP Basic authorization isn't an option, unfortunately.  The other side has elected to enforce authentication through this custom header.
 
What appears to be happening in Axis is that there's an href set in the header which is referencing an item in the SOAP body.  The other company has told me that this will not work and they insist the TSecurity object must be in the header portion.  And I can't figure out how to do that.

I would guess that Axis couldn't figure out how to serialize a TSecurity instance. You'd need to define the type mapping to Axis. This can be done with a registerTypeMapping call on the Call object, or through the client-config.wsdd file. If the standard Axis serializers can't handle it, you'll have to write your own serializer. If it needs to be deserialized at the server, you might need corresponding mappings at the server.

Alternatively, Axis has a standard way of passing username and password, using HTTP basic authorization. just use the setUsername and setPassword methods on the Call object and retrieve the values from the MessageContext object on the server.

Also, you might want to consider adding headers via Handlers, instead of in the main client code.

I've searched through the archives but I haven't found anyone trying to do something similar.
 
I need to build a custom header like this example I was provided with below.
 
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoaporg/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
   <SOAP-ENV:Header SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoaporg/soap/encoding/" xmlns:NS1="urn:uGlobalSOAPTypes">
       <NS1:TSecurity xsi:type="NS1:TSecurity">
           <UserName xsi:type="xsd:string">VGVzdFVzZXJ=</UserName>
           <Password xsi:type="xsd:string">VGVzdFBhc3N3b3Jk</Password>
       </NS1:TSecurity></SOAP-ENV:Header>
   <SOAP-ENV:Body SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
   <NS2:GetVersion xmlns:NS2="urn:uOBI_Intf-IOBISMSClient"/>
</SOAP-ENV:Body></SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
 
I've been trying to do this with this snippet of code:
 
     this.security = new TSecurity(this.username, this.password);
     Service service = new Service();
     Call call = (Call) service.createCall();
     call.setTargetEndpointAddress(new java.net.URL(url));
    call.setOperationName(new javax.xml.namespace.QName("urn:uOBI_Intf-IOBISMSClient", "GetVersion"));
    call.setReturnType(org.apache.axis.encoding.XMLType.XSD_STRING);
    SOAPHeaderElement header = new SOAPHeaderElement("urn:uGlobalSOAPTypes", "TSecurity", security);
    call.addHeader(header);
    call.setMaintainSession(false);
    call.setStreaming(true);
    String reply = (String)call.invoke(new Object[] {});
 
 
But the XML I'm creating looks like this?  What am I doing wrong?  Or should this message be compatible?
 
 
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoaporg/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
