Thanks Mykola! I was looking at the generated code as well and tried it as you described. Adding headers manually did indeed work, but the downside being that everytime I regenerate the code it will be gone.
After some tinkering, I figured out a way to have Flex's generator honor the headers for me! Here's how to do it: 1) You must have the WS side of your app include the header info directly in its WSDL, such as: <wsdl:operation name="ListUsers"> <soap:operation soapAction="http://xyz.com/ListUsers"; style="document"/> <wsdl:input> <soap:body use="literal"/> <soap:header message="tns:ListUsersSessionHeader" part="SessionHeader" use="literal"/> </wsdl:input> <wsdl:output> <soap:body use="literal"/> </wsdl:output> </wsdl:operation> 2) When you re-generate the code in Flex, it will then honor the <soap:header> tag (along with the type definition for "SessionHeader" at the beginning of the WSDL). You will see new method generated on the XYZService class, such as "addYOURWSMETHODNAME_header(header:YOURHEADERTYPE)". You call this method to add the header you defined to the corresponding method, so that every subsequent call will include the header. (Note that the generated BaseService class actually includes header as part of the WS call signature, but the generated top-level Service class does not require header to be passed in the actual WS method call each time. I think that's a good approach, since usually you use headers for stuff like Session key which doesn't change often) 3) So how do you include the <soap:header> tag in WSDL? That depends on your Back End. I'm currently using .Net, so I needed to add a [SoapHeader] Attribute to the [WebMethods] that I want to include a header. See MSDN doc here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.services.protocols.soapheader.aspx Hope this helps! --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Mykola" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi Dave, > > Here is how I did that.
