Debugging through the code illustrates that you can't just set this property on the MessageContext object for the Provider, you must set it on the outbound message object, like this: ((org.apache.cxf.jaxws.context.WrappedMessageContext)messageContext).getWrappedMessage().getExchange().getOutMessage().put(JAXWSAConstants.SERVER_ADDRESSING_PROPERTIES_OUTBOUND, wsaServer);
So the working code for me becomes something like: AddressingProperties wsaServer = new AddressingPropertiesImpl(); AttributedURIType aut = new AttributedURIType(); aut.setValue("urn:get:some"); wsaServer.setAction(aut); ((org.apache.cxf.jaxws.context.WrappedMessageContext)messageContext).getWrappedMessage().getExchange().getOutMessage().put(JAXWSAConstants.SERVER_ADDRESSING_PROPERTIES_OUTBOUND, wsaServer); I've tried overriding the message id and the action headers, both were successful. Still, I'm wondering if it's a bug to have to jump through all these hoops to set that on the outbound message. Shouldn't it inherit from the MessageContext or something? The outbound message seems to get the inbound addressing properties assigned just fine.

However, if I try to override some of the WS-Addressing headers in the MessageContext, it gets ignored. I've tried the following : AddressingProperties wsaServer = new AddressingPropertiesImpl(); AttributedURIType aut = new AttributedURIType(); aut.setValue("urn:get:some"); wsaServer.setAction(aut); messageContext.put(JAXWSAConstants.SERVER_ADDRESSING_PROPERTIES_OUTBOUND, wsaServer); But the Action header sent in the response is the default from the WSDL, not my override value. Am I doing something wrong or this never worked? I've tried doing: messageContext.get(JAXWSAConstants.SERVER_ADDRESSING_PROPERTIES_OUTBOUND) But that returns null, so I've been using the put instead. I tried overriding the messageId as well, but that didn't work either. Thanks, Jesse
