WebServices Client

[cmatthews]

Hi,

I'm working on a proxy server for a service that communicates via SOAP 1.1 messages. The service requires SOAP attachments as well as control of the HTTP request headers. I cannot find any good way of controlling the HTTP headers on a SOAP client request; am I missing something in the Spring-WS API?

Also, I require control over the MIME transfer encoding for the SOAP envelope. I cannot currently see any way to do this with Spring-WS. This is a fair assessment of the Spring-WS client?

Thanks, Chris

When using SAAJ, you can access the headers through the MimeHeaders abstraction on the SAAJ SOAPMessage. For instance, using the callback mechanism explain in http://static.springframework.org/sp....html#d0e2758:

webServiceTemplate.marshalSendAndReceive(o, new WebServiceMessageCallback() {

  public void doInMessage(WebServiceMessage message) {
    SaajSoapMessage message = (SaajSoapMessage)message;
    SOAPMessage saajMessage = message.getSaajMessage();
    saajMessage.getMimeHeaders().addHeader("Foo", "Bar");
  }
});
