[SOLVED] gSOAP WSSE Header missing xmlns namespace declarations

gSOAP WSSE Header missing xmlns namespace declarations

I have a problem generating a gSOAP security header (WSSE). I have compiled all the necessary file and used the following calls to add the WSSE security header to the request:

soap_wsse_add_Security(proxy.soap);
soap_wsse_add_UsernameTokenText(proxy.soap, "UsernameToken-1", "user","passwd");

My security header comes out looking like this:

<SOAP-ENV:Header>
  <wsse:Security SOAP-ENV:mustUnderstand="true">
    <wsse:UsernameToken wsu:Id="UsernameToken-1">
      <wsse:Username>testuser</wsse:Username>
      <wsse:Password Type="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-username-token-profile-1.0#PasswordText">
    testPassword</wsse:Password>
    </wsse:UsernameToken>
  </wsse:Security>
</SOAP-ENV:Header>

Compared to the server specification I was provided, the line

<wsse:Security SOAP-ENV:mustUnderstand="true">

is missing the xmlns:wsse="http...." and the line

<wsse:UsernameToken wsu:Id="UsernameToken-1">

is missing the xmlns:wsu="http...." parts. So I want the to look like this:

 <wsse:Security  xmlns:wsse="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd"  SOAP-ENV:mustUnderstand="true">
  <wsse:UsernameToken xmlns:wsu="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-utility-1.0.xsd"  wsu:Id="UsernameToken-1">

How do I add the xmlns:wsse and xmlns:wsu parts to the specific lines to be inline with the spec? The error I get from the service is:

com.ctc.wstx.exc.WstxParsingException: Undeclared namespace
    prefix "wsse"

I have looked at the gSOAP documentation but all I could find was how to add a header, nothing on how to add namespace definitions to the items in the header.

Assistance will be appreciated.

Solution

Just answering the question to close it.

What you need to do is to edit the *.nsmap file. There you can add your namespace definitions in the struct for example:

SOAP_NMAC struct Namespace ZamtelWSZambia_namespaces[] =
{
    {"wsse", "http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-ecext-1.0.xsd", NULL, NULL},
    {NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL}
};

Then in the client simply include the NSMAP like this:

#include "soapstubs/XXXX.nsmap"
