I'm trying to consume a .NET 2.0 web service using Axis. I generated the web services client using Eclipse WST Plugin and it seems ok so far.
Here the expected SOAP header:
<soap:Header>
<Authentication xmlns="http://mc1.com.br/">
<User>string</User>
<Password>string</Password>
</Authentication>
</soap:Header>
I didn't find any documentation on how to configure this header from an Axis client.
When I generated the client using Visual Studio C# Express 2008, it generates a class named Authentication
with two String attributes (User
and Password
) and all the client methods receive an object of this class as first parameter, but it did not happen with Axis WS client.
How can I set this header in my client calls?
Maybe you can use org.apache.axis.client.Stub.setHeader
method? Something like this:
MyServiceLocator wsLocator = new MyServiceLocator();
MyServiceSoap ws = wsLocator.getMyServiceSoap(new URL("http://localhost/MyService.asmx"));
//add SOAP header for authentication
SOAPHeaderElement authentication = new SOAPHeaderElement("http://mc1.com.br/","Authentication");
SOAPHeaderElement user = new SOAPHeaderElement("http://mc1.com.br/","User", "string");
SOAPHeaderElement password = new SOAPHeaderElement("http://mc1.com.br/","Password", "string");
authentication.addChild(user);
authentication.addChild(password);
((Stub)ws).setHeader(authentication);
//now you can use ws to invoke web services...
