[flexcoders] Re: How to add SOAP header to Flex generated webservice code?

[Mykola]

Hi Dave,

Here is how I did that. I am using Flex Builder 3. I generated code
from WSDL and updated my operation in the BaseXYZ class. It is just 1
line change:

public function hello():AsyncToken
{
        // Instead of a new Array, am using the headers from the base class.
        var headerArray:Array = headers; // <- my change. It was "new
Array()" here
            var out:Object = new Object();
            currentOperation =
BaseAddNumbersServiceService.getPort("BaseAddNumbersServicePort").binding.portType.getOperation("hello");
            var pc:PendingCall = new PendingCall(out,headerArray);
            call(currentOperation,out,pc.token,pc.headers);
            return pc.token;
}

Now, set the headers and call the service operation:

// create the service
        var ws:AddNumbersService = new AddNumbersService();

// create the headers
        var q1:QName=new QName("http://soapinterop.org/xsd";, "Header1");
        var header1:SOAPHeader = new SOAPHeader(q1,
{string:"bologna",int:"123"});

        ws.getWebService().addSimpleHeader("Header1",
"http://soapinterop.org/xsd";, "testName", "testValue");
        ws.getWebService().addHeader(header1);

// set the result and error handlers
        ws.addhelloEventListener(helloResulHandler);
        ws.addAddNumbersServiceFaultEventListener(faultHandler);

// call the service
        ws.hello_send();

Here is what I see in tcpdump:

Referer: file://localhost/Users/mykola/Documents/Flex Builder
3/SampleClient1/bin-debug/SampleClient1.swf
Content-type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
SOAPAction: "urn:hello"
Content-length: 606

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope
xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";>
  <SOAP-ENV:Header>
    <ns0:Header1 xmlns:ns0="http://soapinterop.org/xsd";>
      <ns0:testName>testValue</ns0:testName>
    </ns0:Header1>
    <ns0:Header1 xmlns:ns0="http://soapinterop.org/xsd";>
      <ns0:int>123</ns0:int>
      <ns0:string>bologna</ns0:string>
    </ns0:Header1>
  </SOAP-ENV:Header>
  <SOAP-ENV:Body>
    <ns10:hello xmlns:ns10="http://service.jaxws.mdzyuba.com/"/>
  </SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

Both headers are sent successfully. I hope it will work for you.
