How can I add an object into the soap header of a org.springframework.ws.WebServiceMessage
This is the structure I'm looking to end up with:
<soap:Header>
<credentials xmlns="http://example.com/auth">
<username>username</username>
<password>password</password>
</credentials>
</soap:Header>
Basically, you need to use a WebServiceMessageCallback
in your client to modify the message after its creation but before it is sent. To rest of the code has been described pretty accurately by @skaffman so the whole stuff might look like this:
public void marshalWithSoapActionHeader(MyObject o) {
webServiceTemplate.marshalSendAndReceive(o, new WebServiceMessageCallback() {
public void doWithMessage(WebServiceMessage message) {
try {
SoapMessage soapMessage = (SoapMessage)message;
SoapHeader header = soapMessage.getSoapHeader();
StringSource headerSource = new StringSource("<credentials xmlns=\"http://example.com/auth\">\n +
<username>"+username+"</username>\n +
<password>"+password"+</password>\n +
</credentials>");
Transformer transformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
transformer.transform(headerSource, header.getResult());
} catch (Exception e) {
// exception handling
}
}
});
}
Personally, I find that Spring-WS sucks hard for such a basic need, they should fix SWS-479.
