How to set MessageId and ReplyTo header values

This question relates to WS-Addressing client.
Here is a snippet of the SOAP request from page 45 of the Spring documentation version 1.5.8:

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope"
xmlns:wsa="http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing">
<SOAP-ENV::Header>
<wsa:MessageID>urn:uuid:21363e0d-2645-4eb7-8afd-2f5ee1bb25cf</wsa:MessageID>
<wsa:ReplyTo>
<wsa:Address>http://example.com/business/client1</wsa:Address>
</wsa:ReplyTo>
<wsa:To S:mustUnderstand="true">http://example/com/fabrikam</wsa:To>
<wsa:Action>http://example.com/fabrikam/mail/Delete</wsa:Action>
</SOAP-ENV:Header>
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<f:Delete xmlns:f="http://example.com/fabrikam">
<f:maxCount>42</f:maxCount>
</f:Delete>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

I want to set the ReplyTo and MessageID header values in my SOAP request. Here is the documentation on WS-addressing SOAP client on Page 55:

"For setting WS-Addressing headers on the client, you can use the
org.springframework.ws.soap.addressing.client.Acti onCallback. This callback takes the desired Action
header as a parameter. It also has constructors for specifying the WS-Addressing version, and a To header. If
not specified, the To header will default to the URL of the connection being made"

I have looked up the class definition in Spring API. It does not contain a call back definition for specifying the MessageID and ReplyTo headers in the client. How do I do that?

Thanks.

Hi Bharat,

You could make your client extend class org.springframework.ws.client.core.support.WebServ iceGatewaySupport.

In there, use any of the sendAndReceive or marshalSendAndReceive methods as in the following piece of sample code:

Code:

---

getWebServiceTemplate().marshalSendAndReceive(yourDataRequest,
  new WebServiceMessageCallback() {
    @Override
    public void doWithMessage(WebServiceMessage message)
      throws IOException, TransformerException {
      log.debug("adding soap aheader");

      SaajSoapMessage soapMessage = (SaajSoapMessage) message;
      soapMessage.getSoapHeader()
        .addAttribute(new QName("correlation_ID"),"yourCorrelationId");
      soapMessage.getSoapHeader()
        .addAttribute(new QName("reply_to"), "yourReplyToAddress");
    }
});
