    Enforcing Mandatory SOAP Headers

      Hi,

       

      I've got a switchyard composite which is exposing a WSDL service via a SOAP binding, and that WSDL service defines, on each operation,

       

      <soap:header message="tns:ProcessMessageExchangeHeader" part="ExchangeHeader" use="literal" wsdl:required="true"/>

       

      (for completeness here's the other bits relevant to the exchangeheader)

       

      <xsd:element name="ExchangeHeader" type="tns:ExchangeHeader" />
<xsd:complexType name="ExchangeHeader">
  <xsd:sequence>
    <xsd:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="MsgID"
      type="xsd:string" />
    <xsd:element minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" name="MsgDateTime"
      type="xsd:dateTime" />
    <xsd:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="MsgMEPRole"
      type="xsd:string" />
    <xsd:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="MsgCorrID"
      type="xsd:string" />
    <xsd:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="MsgSource"
      type="xsd:string" />
    <xsd:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="MsgDestination"
      type="xsd:string" />
  </xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>

       

      <wsdl:message name="ProcessMessageExchangeHeader">
  <wsdl:part name="ExchangeHeader" element="tns:ExchangeHeader">
  </wsdl:part>
</wsdl:message>

       

      However, even though the WSDL defines that the header IS required, i can quite happily push a message through the SOAP binding into my service without any soap header element at all.

       

      So does switchyard's SOAP binding respect the 'required' element?  and if not, how could I go about overriding this behaviour as this is a requirement from a client, that the header be mandatory.
