soap:headers and explicit service context

[Hans Planting (CWEU-USERS/CWNL)]

Hi there,

Is there support planned for explicit soap headers as described in 
JAX-RPC 1.1 chapter 11.2.2?
With explicit soap headers I'd expect Axis to append additional 
parameters for soap:headers following the service endpoint defined 
paramers in the remote method signature. Also no custom 
parsing/deserialization would need to be implemented.
Currently in order to process soap:headers you need to implement a 
handler or use the setHeader and getHeader methods in 
org.apache.axis.client.Stub and in both cases implement code to 
parse/deserialize the soap elements; Axis does not deserialize the 
contents of soap:headers to Java objects (correct me if I'm wrong - is 
there a way to do this?).

Thanx!

Hans
