    Issue accessing SOAP Header in JBoss AS7

    arulprashanth

      I have to access the Soap Header in the WebService Request and perform a functionality based on the information in header. I am running into the below issues

       

      1. I have a SOAPHandler written but when I access the header attributes all values are null but I can see any new attributes added as part of the request being available in SOAPHeader expect that the value is null.

      2. How can I access the header value in my WebMethod

       

      CustomSOAPHandler

       

      public class CustomSOAPHandler implements SOAPHandler<SOAPMessageContext>{

       

         @Override

         public boolean handleMessage(SOAPMessageContext context) {

       

                                    System.out.println("Server : handleMessage()......");

       

                                    Boolean isRequest = (Boolean) context.get(MessageContext.MESSAGE_OUTBOUND_PROPERTY);

                                    //for response message only, true for outbound messages, false for inbound

                                    if(!isRequest){

       

                                    try{

                                        SOAPMessage soapMsg = context.getMessage();

                                        SOAPEnvelope soapEnv = soapMsg.getSOAPPart().getEnvelope();

                                      SOAPHeader soapHeader = soapEnv.getHeader();

                                      System.out.println("Server : handleMessage()......"+isRequest);

                                        if (soapHeader == null){

                                                soapHeader = soapEnv.addHeader();

                                                throw new IllegalArgumentException("No SOAP header.");

                                         }

       

                                         Iterator it = soapHeader.extractAllHeaderElements();

                                         System.out.println(" >> message_type_id >> "+soapHeader.getAttribute("message_type_id"));

                                         while(it.hasNext()){

                                                        System.out.println(it.next().toString());

                                         }

                                           //tracking

                                         soapMsg.writeTo(System.out);

       

                                              }catch(SOAPException e){

                                                        System.err.println(e);

                                              }catch(IOException e){

                                                        System.err.println(e);

                                              }

       

                                        }

       

                                      //continue other handler chain

                                      return true;

                                    }

       

      @Override

                                    public boolean handleFault(SOAPMessageContext context) {

       

                                              System.out.println("Server : handleFault()......");

       

                                              return true;

                                    }

       

      @Override

                                    public void close(MessageContext context) {

                                              System.out.println("Server : close()......");

                                    }

       

      @Override

                                    public Set<QName> getHeaders() {

                                        System.out.println("Inside SOAP handler of get Headers");

                                        QName messageTypeId = new QName("http://www.test.com","message_type_id");

                                        HashSet<QName> headers = new HashSet<QName>();

                                        headers.add(messageTypeId);

                                        System.out.println("got Headers:  " + headers);

                                              return headers;

                                    }

       

                          }

       

       

      SOAP Request :

       

      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

      <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:a="http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing" xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:rule="http://ws.test.com/rule" xmlns:ws="http://ws.test.com/" xmlns:ebus="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/test.e.Components.Messaging">

         <soapenv:Header>

                   <message_type_id mustUnderstand="1" xmlns="http://www.test.com">102</message_type_id>

         </soapenv:Header>

         <soapenv:Body>

            <ws:Respond>

            </ws:Respond>

         </soapenv:Body>

      </soapenv:Envelope>

       

      Server Output:

       

      stdout - Server : handleMessage()......

      stdout - Server : handleMessage()......false

      stdout -  >> message_type_id >>

      stdout - [message_type_id: null]
