RE: [AXIS2] - How to control "To" element in the SOAP header?

[Victor Solakhian]

Hi Chinthaka,

 

Actually createSOAPEnvelope() method is mine. It creates an envelope
that has "To" element in the header according to specs of the Web
Servcies server. The Axis2 code that sends the message adds another "To"
header block using the value that was set in options.setTo() method.

 

The problem is that sometimes servers expect values in the "To" element
that differ from the value of the endpoint reference used to send
messages. I do not know if this is a bug in Axis2. I know that some
developers used Axis1 to successfully implement desired behavior.

 

Thanks

Hi Victor,

If createSOAPEnvelope() method adds wsa:To header, then it is a bug,
IMO. Please create a bug in JIRA and someone will look in to this (but
it might take some time for me to commit in to this :( )

Thanks,

I have code that creates a SOAP envelope and sends it using Axis2
ServiceCLient.

 

        EndpointReference targetEPR = 

        new EndpointReference("https://...";);

 

        String action = "...";        

        client = new ServiceClient(ctx, null);

        operationClient =
client.createClient(ServiceClient.ANON_OUT_IN_OP);

 

        MessageContext outMsgCtx = new MessageContext();

        Options options = outMsgCtx.getOptions();

        options.setTo(targetEPR);

 
options.setSoapVersionURI(SOAP11Constants.SOAP_ENVELOPE_NAMESPACE_URI);

        options.setProperty(HTTPConstants.CHUNKED, false);

        options.setAction(action);

        

        outMsgCtx.setEnvelope(createSOAPEnvelope(operation, payload));

        operationClient.addMessageContext(outMsgCtx);

        operationClient.execute(true);

 

Now the createSOAPEnvelope(operation, payload)) method creates an
envelope with a header  that includes:

 

      <soapenv:Header>

                        ...

                        <wsa:To

 
xmlns:wsa="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/08/addressing";>

                                    urn:xxx.yyy.com.zzz

                        </wsa:To>

 

which is expected by the web services server, but Axis2 code adds
another To" element:

 

                        <wsa:To>

                                    https://...

                        </wsa:To>

 

to the header (using the endpoint reference set by
options.setTo(targetEPR)).

 

We need to set the targetEPR to  the options so that messages are sent
to the right place, but we need to have control on what is put in the
header.

 

Is there a way to avoid adding the targetEPR to the header?

 

Thanks,

 

Victor
