RE: Authentication Information in SOAP Header

[Pani, Gourav]

Thanks for the suggestions.  I understand that you can just typecast
TestTransaction and get a stub object as follows.

TestTransactionSoapBindingStub stub = (TestTransactionSoapBindingStub)
transaction;

But that doesn't solve my problem.  Or maybe I am just missing the point.

Here is what I would like to append to the SOAP Header (not the BODY).

<AuthenticationInfo userid="xxxxx" password="yyyyy"/>
<AuthorizationInfo>
        <From domain="foo.com" system="FOO"/>
      <To domain="bar.com" system="BAR">
</AuthorizationInfo>

Is that possible using the setHeader() method on the Stub or do I have to
use Handlers?  If so, are there any examples that anyone knows of that might
be helpful?

Thanks.

Hello there,

I don't know the details of your code, but I suppose that you have to cast
"transaction" to Stub or TestTransactionSoapBindingStub - at compiletime
"transaction" is just of type TestTransaction, and not of type
TestTransactionSoapBindingStub (at runtime, it will be of type
TestTransactionSoapBindingStub as well).

Kind regards,
Arno Huetter

Here is what I am specifically doing in my code.


      // creating the service locator obj
        TestTransactionService serviceLocator = new
TestTransactionServiceLocator();

        // creating and executing the transaction
      TestTransaction transaction = serviceLocator.getFastWebService();
      transaction.updateInventory("Foo", fooInfo);

I can't figure out how to use the TestTransactionSoapBindingStub to set the
header.  Any suggestions?

Hi there,

I don't employ a handler, but simply invoke Stub.setHeader() for passing
authentication data - works fine for me.

hi,

i am using axis 1.1 on resin 2.1.10 and am trying to send header level
authentication info to a service.  from previous posts and some other
research i have gathered that using handlers would be the right way to go
about it.  however, i cannot seem to find any documentation or sample code
on how to use handlers to manipulate the header of a SOAP envelope before it
is sent out to the service.


i am using WSDLToJava to generate the stub objects instead of the DII way of
using the Call object.

any help is greatly appreciated.

tia.

ps:  the setUsername()/setPassword() solution does not work for my case.
