Deepal Jayasinghe has a paper mentioned that. http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/webservices/library/ws-soa-axis2-1/ "With service clients you can only access SOAP body or the pay load. Of course you can add SOAP headers but you do not have a way to retrieve SOAP header from service client. For that you will need to use an operation client."
The problem is that the generated stub doesn't give a way to access the operation client. So from the client stub, one seems cannot get access to the operation client, messageContext or SOAPHeader. Anybody knows if there's a way to get such info from client handler?

I would also like to retrieve SOAP Headers without having to modify the stub (generated) code. Is there any way to do this?

I want to view the soap headers that are returned. Using ethereal (network sniffer) I can see the headers, but they are not exposed on the stub class. There are no, stub.getHeader (...) methods that I can use, unless I need to do something fancier? How do I get the SOAPEnvelope from a Stub? Eseentially, the stub is all I'm working with or do I need to look elsewhere? Thanks so much for your help Brennan!

The ServiceClient (class member in the Stub) also has helper methods for adding SOAP headers. --------------------------------- From: hoy hoy [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 30, 2006 1:55 PM To: axis-user@ws.apache.org Subject: how to get soap header from stub in axis2 Hi all, I'm using Axis 2 1.1 and have a stub that was generated from a WSDL. The soap call that I'm making returns SOAP headers, namely session information. How can I retrieve those SOAP headers from my stub? What methods or helper classes do I need to use?
