RE: Complex type in SOAP header

[Jeff Talbot]

Title: Message

hmm, if you're wondering how to get Java2Wsdl / Wsdl2java to recognize headers, they don't do it. at least not right now (i believe it is on the todo list). if you're wondering about a 3rd party tool to do it, i don't know of any.

 

right now i am also manually editing the wsdl.

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

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!
