How to add XML elements to the SOAP Header?

[david beckman]

he optional SOAP Header element contains application-specific information (like authentication, payment, etc) about the SOAP message.

If the Header element is present, it must be the first child element of the Envelope element.

Note: All immediate child elements of the Header element must be namespace-qualified.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<soap:Envelope
xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2001/12/soap-envelope"
soap:encodingStyle="http://www.w3.org/2001/12/soap-encoding">

<soap:Header>
<m:Trans xmlns:m="http://www.w3schools.com/transaction/"
soap:mustUnderstand="1">234
</m:Trans>
</soap:Header>
...
...
</soap:Envelope>
The example above contains a header with a "Trans" element, a "mustUnderstand" attribute with a value of 1, and a value of 234.

SOAP defines three attributes in the default namespace ("http://www.w3.org/2001/12/soap-envelope"). These attributes are: mustUnderstand, actor, and encodingStyle.

The attributes defined in the SOAP Header defines how a recipient should process the SOAP message.

Hi Patb ,

Following may be helpful to achieve your target :
<code>

SOAPEnvelope soapEnvelope = ((SaajSoapMessage) webServiceMessage)
.getSaajMessage().getSOAPPart()
.getEnvelope();

SaajSoapMessage soapMessage = (SaajSoapMessage)webServiceMessage;
SOAPHeaderElement soapHeaderElement = soapMessage.getSaajMessage().getSOAPHeader().addHe aderElement(soapEnvelope.createName("Authorization "));
soapHeaderElement.addAttribute(soapEnvelope.create Name("xmlns"), "");
soapHeaderElement.addChildElement(soapEnvelope.cre ateName("Token"));


</code>
