java - How do you add a Soap Header defined in a wsdl to a web service client in CXF?

Question

I have a wsdl that defines a soap header that needs to be passed when calling the web service.

The sample SOAP Header is:

<soapenv:Header>
   <AuthenticationInfo>
      <userName>User</userName>
      <password/>
   </AuthenticationInfo>
</soapenv:Header>

CXF's wsdl2java generated an "AuthenticationInfo" java class that I can create and populate with a username and password, but I don't know the proper way to pass that to the CXF Client when calling the web service.

Answer 1

While generating the proxy class using Apache CXF using adding the extendedSoapHeaders with true will generate the PortType Class with the Request and Header argument.

<wsdlOption>              
<wsdl>${project.basedir}/src/main/resources/wsdl/sample.wsdl</wsdl>
 <!-- enables processing of implicit SOAP headers, default is false -->
<extendedSoapHeaders>true</extendedSoapHeaders>
</wsdlOption>
