How can I add an object into the soap header of a org.springframework.ws.WebServiceMessage
This is the structure I'm looking to end up with:
<soap:Header>
<credentials xmlns="http://example.com/auth">
<username>username</username>
<password>password</password>
</credentials>
</soap:Header>
Basically, you need to use a WebServiceMessageCallback
in your client to modify the message after its creation but before it is sent. To rest of the code has been described pretty accurately by @skaffman so the whole stuff might look like this:
public void marshalWithSoapActionHeader(MyObject o) {
webServiceTemplate.marshalSendAndReceive(o, new WebServiceMessageCallback() {
public void doWithMessage(WebServiceMessage message) {
try {
SoapMessage soapMessage = (SoapMessage)message;
SoapHeader header = soapMessage.getSoapHeader();
StringSource headerSource = new StringSource("<credentials xmlns=\"http://example.com/auth\">\n +
<username>"+username+"</username>\n +
<password>"+password"+</password>\n +
</credentials>");
Transformer transformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
transformer.transform(headerSource, header.getResult());
} catch (Exception e) {
// exception handling
}
}
});
}
Personally, I find that Spring-WS sucks hard for such a basic need, they should fix SWS-479.
You can do as below:
public class SoapRequestHeaderModifier implements WebServiceMessageCallback {
private final String userName = "user";
private final String passWd = "passwd";
@Override
public void doWithMessage(WebServiceMessage message) throws IOException, TransformerException {
if (message instanceof SaajSoapMessage) {
SaajSoapMessage soapMessage = (SaajSoapMessage) message;
MimeHeaders mimeHeader = soapMessage.getSaajMessage().getMimeHeaders();
mimeHeader.setHeader("Authorization", getB64Auth(userName, passWd));
}
}
private String getB64Auth(String login, String pass) {
String source = login + ":" + pass;
String retunVal = "Basic " + Base64.getUrlEncoder().encodeToString(source.getBytes());
return retunVal;
}
}
Then
Object response = getWebServiceTemplate().marshalSendAndReceive(request, new SoapRequestHeaderModifier());
You need to cast the WebServiceMessage
to SoapMessage
, which has a getSoapHeader()
method you can use to modify the header. In turn, SoapHeader
has various methods for adding elements, including getResult()
(which can be used as the output of a Transformer.transform()
operation).
