In a Handler, where you have access to the MessageContext you can get the
SOAP envelope like so:
//get message from context
Message msg = msgContext.getRequestMessage();
//retrieve SOAP envelope
SOAPEnvelope env = msg.getSOAPPart().getAsSOAPEnvelope();
>From your target service you can get the MessageContext with the static
method MessageContext.getCurrentContext().

Subject: AW: Complex type in SOAP header
Just a question: how can I access the envelope (env) in a service? Looking
at some example I don't see where the service has access to the
envelope.

Werner

Betreff: RE: Complex type in SOAP header
Thanks Jeff. I actually worked this out late yesterday by taking a look at
the the source for SOAPHeader and MessageElement.
Im interested to know if you have any idea of how this header message could
be captured in WSDL using a Java based tool.
I know .NET can do this, but in my case a Handler processes the SOAP Header
so its not part of my service interface(s). I fixed my generated WSDL by
manually editing it.
Thanks Again
Adam

Subject: RE: Complex type in SOAP header
You shouldn't need to deal with Element's or DOM's. Axis includes support
for complexTypes passed as SOAP Header elements (you just need to make sure
you have serializers registered for your types). On the client side you can
create the header in the following manner:
SOAPHeader header = new SOAPHeader(NAMESPACE, localName, object);
Then, in the service implementation (or in a handler), you can retrieve the
header in this way:
SOAPHeader header = env.getHeaderByName(NAMESPACE, localName);
And the value:
object = header.getValueAsType(new QName(NAMESPACE, localName));
Hope this helps!
