how to create child elements for SoapHeaderElement?

[jolder]

HI,
I need to add some WS-Addressing headers into response message. I have created implementation class for SoapEndpointInterceptor interface. I know that I can add header elements to soap message like this:

public boolean handleResponse(MessageContext ctx, Object arg1)
			throws Exception {

QName qName= new QName("http://something", "blaa", "blaah");
SoapMessage message=(SoapMessage)ctx.getResponse();
SoapHeader header = message.getSoapHeader();
SoapHeaderElement headerElement=header.addHeaderElement(qName);

But is it possible to add child element for SoapHeaderElement ?
What i am trying to do here is to add Addressing headers like this to soap message:

<wsa:From>
       <wsa:Address>myAdress</wsa:Address>
</wsa:From>

Did anyone some up with a solution for this?

If the message is an instance of SaajSoapMessage you can do the following:

SaajSoapMessage saajSoapMessage = (SaajSoapMessage) message;
SOAPMessage soapMessage = saajSoapMessage.getSaajMessage();

You then have an instance of javax.xml.soap.SOAPMessage that you can manipulate however you want.

Yes, but the main reason that I want to use spring-ws is to use the abstraction and be able to switch between axiom and saaj.


SoapHeaderElement fromHeader = header.addHeaderElement(new QName(URI_NS_WSA_1_1, "from", "wsa"));

SoapHeaderElement adressHeader = header.addHeaderElement(new QName(URI_NS_WSA_1_1, "adress", "wsa"));
adressHeader.setText("Magnus Heino");

TransformerFactory transformerFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformer = transformerFactory.newTransformer();
transformer.transform(adressHeader.getSource(), fromHeader.getResult());

Now I get close, but not correct.

<wsa:from xmlns:wsa="http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing">
<wsa:adress>Magnus Heino</wsa:adress>
</wsa:from>
<wsa:adress xmlns:wsa="http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing">Magnus Heino</wsa:adress>

Because there is no factory for SoapHeaderElements, I get that duplicate entry... :-P

Uhm.. this works.. but...

SoapHeaderElement fromHeader = header.addHeaderElement(new QName(URI_NS_WSA_1_1, "from", "wsa"));

SoapHeader headerFactory = ((SoapMessage) soapMessageFactory.createWebServiceMessage()).getS oapHeader();
SoapHeaderElement adressHeader = headerFactory.addHeaderElement(new QName(URI_NS_WSA_1_1, "adress", "wsa"));
adressHeader.setText("Magnus Heino");

TransformerFactory transformerFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformer = transformerFactory.newTransformer();
transformer.transform(adressHeader.getSource(), fromHeader.getResult());




<wsa:from xmlns:wsa="http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing">
<wsa:adress>Magnus Heino</wsa:adress>
</wsa:from>

Heh... nice

Hi,

I got a similar problem. I want to read the Address element which is child of the From element.
Why does SoapHeaderElement not simply contain a getChildElements() method? What would be the best way to get the child Element. Do I need to create a transformer also for reading?

Thanks,

Tobias
