RE: Confusion in getHeaderByName methods - Please help

[PILLAI,RANJITH (HP-PaloAlto,ex1)]

Hi Tratter,
Thanks for your reply..
Yes when I invoked getHeaderByName passing argument "true" worked when I
ported to another system. 
Though I don't have any actors defined, first API worked in one system, but
when I ported the same service to another system, first API didn't work, but
second API worked passing argument "true". 

I am trying to understand its difference.. why first API worked in one
system and not in other? So are you suggesting to use second API passing
"true" always if I don't have any Actors defined?

Thanks again,
Ranjith Pillai.

Hi, Ranjith!

Maybe this won't bring much light into your case, but as any help is 
deeply appreciated...

In org.apache.axis.message.SOAPEnvelope, where both methods are defined, 
the method nr. 1) just does the following:

     public SOAPHeaderElement getHeaderByName(String namespace,
                                              String localPart)
         throws AxisFault
     {
         return getHeaderByName(namespace, localPart, false);
     }

(Taken from the source)
So it just wraps the method nr. 2)
I'm sure, you already tried calling method 2) with true as value of the 
third parameter. Did that help?
If it didn't, then maybe something else is wrong. Maybe inspecting the 
data exchange with something like the tcpmon could help.

cheers,
Christoph
