Authorization Header being stripped from Mime Headers of SOA

[sfalbo]

I am using Jboss 4.0.3 RC2 and I am sending a SOAPMessage from a client using the call(...) method of javax.xml.soap.SOAPConnection. I also need to set the Authorization mime header on the message but when I use:

SOAPMessage message;
SOAPConnection conn;
...
message.getMimeHeaders().addHeader("Authorization", "...");
...
conn.call(message, new URL("servlet URL"));

The Authorization header is not in the mime headers of the request. If I add any other header name, it is set in the mime headers correctly. Does anyone have any idea as to what I am missing? Is there another way that I need to go about setting the Base64 encoded Authorization header?

I really need to get this header in the message because I am trying to send to a servlet with BASIC Authentication securing it. Thanks in advance for your help.

Maybe you could create a JIRA issue and attach a sample deployment that allows us to reproduce what you are seeing. Idealy, the sample deployment is a webapp packaged as a war that will show the issue when we click on a link. The war should also contain the sources.

Thank you for your help but, I solved this issue by using the login() method of LoginContext. This seems to correctly add the Authorization MimeHeader as well as adding the JBoss specific username and password SOAP Headers.
