Hi All: We have an app server that uses org.apache.cxf.endpoint.Client to call various third party services.
We are now dealing with a new WSDL which requires an element and child element in the SOAP header for each invocation (a session header element and a sesssion ID child element). The SOAP has to look like this: <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"; xmlns:urn="urn:app.example.com"> <soapenv:Header> <urn:SessionHeader> <urn:sessionId>ABC-Session-ID-XYZ</urn:sessionId> </urn:SessionHeader> </soapenv:Header> <soapenv:Body> <urn:SomeName/> ... </soapenv:Body> </soapenv:Envelope> This FAQ item is a helpful start: http://cxf.apache.org/faq.html#FAQ-HowcanIaddsoapheaderstotherequest/response ? Because our services are dynamic, I do not know at development time what the header name or structure is, so I need to fetch it out of CXF's model and create the SOAP headers programatically based on our server's input which has its own object model. I create a Client out a WSDL and a JaxWsDynamicClientFactory. Then I can do: final Endpoint endpoint = client.getEndpoint(); final BindingInfo binding = endpoint.getBinding().getBindingInfo(); final BindingOperationInfo boi = binding.getOperation(new QName(namespace, bindingOperation)); final BindingMessageInfo inputMessageInfo = boi.getInput(); final List<MessagePartInfo> parts = inputMessageInfo.getMessageParts(); final MessagePartInfo partInfo = parts.get(0); // only one part. final Class<?> partClass = partInfo.getTypeClass(); final Object[] operationArguments = buildArguments(..., partClass); List<Header> headers = new ArrayList<Header>(); ...?... client.getRequestContext().put(Header.HEADER_LIST, headers); if (boi.isUnwrapped()) { result = client.invoke(bindingOperation, operationArguments); } else { result = client.invokeWrapped(bindingOperation, operationArguments); } How do I get the SOAP header part of the WSDL from CXF's model? In WSDL it's the input's soap:header element: <operation name="SomeName"> <soap:operation soapAction=""/> <input> <soap:header message="tns:Header" part="SessionHeader" use="literal"/> <soap:body use="literal" parts="parameters"/> </input> <output> <soap:body use="literal"/> </output> </operation> It looks like I can get to all the other bits of the WSDL from endpoint.getBinding(). Thoughts?
