the need for SOAP header handling - WSDL2Java


Hi,

We have a need for SOAP header handling by WSDL2Java to make
it easier to write web services clients to talk to services
that require SOAP headers.

I have heard others on this list making inquiries for
similar functionality.

Some Axis developer work has already been done in this area,
but it isn't supported yet.  With Axis already at Beta 3 and
soon at production quality I'm concerned that this
functionality will not be in the product. 

I would really like to see this functionality make it into
the general release.  Are others interested in this
functionality?  Speak up :)

Thanks,
Ken M.

SOAP is all about interoperability and the lack of SOAP header information
hurts .NET - Axis interoperability.  .NET's web service proxy generator
relies on SOAP header information in WSDL.

We have web services that use SOAP headers for authentication and I have not
been able to find a way to  access these web services from .NET without
editting the WSDL myself and adding in SOAP header related soap:binding
elements so that the proxies are generated correctly.
