Problems formatting SOAP header
I am using Axis 1.4 to connect to web services provided by ClickTime, an
outside vendor. Their underlying technology is Microsoft .net and it is
very picky about the format of the request. It expects a SOAP header in
this format:
<soapenv:Header><CredentialsSoapHeader xsi:type="WebServiceKeyCredentials"
soapenv:actor="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/actor/next"
soapenv:mustUnderstand="0"
xmlns="http://clicktime.com/webservices/2.2/"><ns1:Key
xmlns:ns1="http://clicktime.com/webservices/2.2/">xxx</ns1:Key><ns2:Password
xmlns:ns2="http://clicktime.com/webservices/2.2/">yyy</ns2:Password></CredentialsSoapHeader></soapenv:Header>
The key issues are that the xsi:type must have the xsi: prefix and the
xmlns="http://clicktime.com/webservices/2.2/"> must not have a prefix. I've
worked with Clicktime and confirmed with manually created requests that the
request will fail if either of these is different.
I am having difficulty getting Axis to generate a header that it will
accept.
Here is the simple code I am using to try to establish a connection.
public void getinfo () throws Exception {
DataExchangeSoapStub ctBinding = (DataExchangeSoapStub) new
DataExchangeLocator().getDataExchangeSoap();
// set credentials element in SOAP header
WebServiceKeyCredentials wskey = new
WebServiceKeyCredentials("xxx","yyy");
String ctURI = new
DataExchangeLocator().getServiceName().getNamespaceURI();
SOAPHeaderElement she = new SOAPHeaderElement("",
"CredentialsSoapHeader", wskey);
QName qn = new
QName(Constants.URI_2001_SCHEMA_XSI,"type",Constants.NS_PREFIX_SCHEMA_XSI);
PrefixedQName tn = new PrefixedQName(qn);
she.addAttribute(tn,"WebServiceKeyCredentials");
ctBinding.setHeader(she);
String userid = ctBinding.getUserID("ccc@real.com");
return;
}
This generates the following request.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><soapenv:Envelope
xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<soapenv:Header><CredentialsSoapHeader type="WebServiceKeyCredentials"
soapenv:actor="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/actor/next"
soapenv:mustUnderstand="0"><ns1:Key
xmlns:ns1="http://clicktime.com/webservices/2.2/">xxx</ns1:Key><ns2:Password
xmlns:ns2="http://clicktime.com/webservices/2.2/">yyy</ns2:Password></CredentialsSoapHeader></soapenv:Header><soapenv:Body><GetUserID
xmlns="http://clicktime.com/webservices/2.2/"><EmailAddress>ccc@real.com</EmailAddress></GetUserID></soapenv:Body></soapenv:Envelope>
If I change the creation of the SOAP header to this
SOAPHeaderElement she = new SOAPHeaderElement(ctURI,
"CredentialsSoapHeader", wskey);
then I get this request.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><soapenv:Envelope
xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"><soapenv:Header><ns1:CredentialsSoapHeader
type="WebServiceKeyCredentials"
soapenv:actor="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/actor/next"
soapenv:mustUnderstand="0"
xmlns:ns1="http://clicktime.com/webservices/2.2/"><ns1:Key>xxx</ns1:Key><ns1:Password>yyy</ns1:Password></ns1:CredentialsSoapHeader></soapenv:Header><soapenv:Body><GetUserID
xmlns="http://clicktime.com/webservices/2.2/"><EmailAddress>ccc@real.com</EmailAddress></GetUserID></soapenv:Body></soapenv:Envelope>
Any ideas on how to get this request formatted in the required form? Will
Axis2 work better?

I think the problem here is that type attribute is not belong to
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance namespace. have a look at with
Axis2.
thanks,
