Adding SOAP headers using Apache CXF – Client

ClientProxyFactoryBean factory = new JaxWsProxyFactoryBean();
factory.setServiceClass(SampleService.class);

// Set the web service endpoint URL here
factory.setAddress("http://localhost:8181/cxf/sampleService/");

SampleService serviceClient = (SampleService) factory.create();

// Get the underlying Client object from the proxy object of service interface
Client proxy = ClientProxy.getClient(serviceClient);

// Creating SOAP headers to the web service request

// Create a list for holding all SOAP headers
List<Header> headersList = new ArrayList<Header>();

Header userNameHeader = new Header(new QName("http://sachinhandiekar.com/ws/SampleWS", "userName"), "JohnDoe", new JAXBDataBinding(String.class));

headersList.add(userNameHeader);

// Add SOAP headers to the web service request
proxy.getRequestContext().put(Header.HEADER_LIST, headersList);


serviceClient.processData();
