JAX-WS - Adding SOAP Headers

Jordan Allan picture Jordan Allan · Feb 24, 2010 · Viewed 109.9k times · Source

I am trying to create a standalone client to consume some web services. I must add my username and password to the SOAP Header. I tried adding the credentials as follows:

OTSWebSvcsService service = new OTSWebSvcsService();
OTSWebSvcs port = service.getOTSWebSvcs();

BindingProvider prov = (BindingProvider)port;
prov.getRequestContext().put(BindingProvider.USERNAME_PROPERTY, "myusername");
prov.getRequestContext().put(BindingProvider.PASSWORD_PROPERTY, "mypassword");

...

When I call a method on the service I get the following exception:

com.ibm.wsspi.wssecurity.SoapSecurityException: WSEC5048E: One of "SOAP Header" elements required.

What am I doing wrong? How would I add these properties to the SOAP Header?

Edited: I was using JAX-WS 2.1 included in JDK6. I am now using JAX-WS 2.2. I now get the following exception:

com.ibm.wsspi.wssecurity.SoapSecurityException: WSEC5509E: A security token whose type is [http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-username-token-profile-1.0#UsernameToken] is required.

How do I go about creating this token?

Data can be transferred in SOAP header (JaxWS) by using @WebParam(header = true):

@WebMethod(operationName = "SendRequest", action = "http://abcd.ru/")
@Oneway
public void sendRequest(
    @WebParam(name = "Message", targetNamespace = "http://abcd.ru/", partName = "Message")
    Data message,
    @WebParam(name = "ServiceHeader", targetNamespace = "http://abcd.ru/", header = true, partName = "ServiceHeader")
    Header serviceHeader);

If you want to generate a client with SOAP Headers, you need to use -XadditionalHeaders:

wsimport -keep -Xnocompile -XadditionalHeaders -Xdebug http://12.34.56.78:8080/TestHeaders/somewsdl?wsdl -d /home/evgeny/DEVELOPMENT/JAVA/gen

If don't need @Oneway web service, you can use Holder:

@WebMethod(operationName = "SendRequest", action = "http://abcd.ru/")
public void sendRequest(
    @WebParam(name = "Message", targetNamespace = "http://abcd.ru/", partName = "Message")
    Data message,
    @WebParam(name = "ServiceHeader", targetNamespace = "http://abcd.ru/", header = true, partName = "ServiceHeader")
    Holder<Header> serviceHeader);
