Setting HTTP headers from C++ stubs
Hi All,
I tried to set HTTP headers from the C++ stub and fond that it is not supported in current
Axis C++.
Hence I tried to write a stub to set HTTP headers from the stub. I used the interop base
sample.
I crated a new class called ServiceStub and inherited InteropTestPortType class from this (by
the way, can we change InteropTestPortType classname to a more meaningful name)
I think it is good to have a base class for the stubs (as in Axis Java). One can use the
ServiceStub class that I have written as the base class. This makes life easier when it comes to
extending stub functionality.
Also When I wanted to set the HTTP headers, I found that the existing API does not have a
mechanism to do so. Hence I added a setHTTPHeader methods to both Call and AxisTransport classes.
( I made the assumtion that the transport is always HTTP, which is reasonable for current Axis C++
codebase, However need to change this to support new transports)
I have attached my code here. And I think it is very important to allow flexibility on client
side and the consept of inheriting stub from a base class like ServiceStub is very important.
Also I tried to adhere to the suggested coding convention when I was writing ServiceStub
class.
I tested this code with both C++ and Java Axis servers and it worked.
Only setHTTPHeaders work for the moment. The other methods such as setEndPointUrl could
Please add this concept to Axis C++.
Also we could build on this to achieve setting various properties from client stub.
Thanks,
Samisa...

Something like setHTTPHeader belongs in the HTTPTransport class. I thought
we had a transport abstraction in place .. maybe I'm confusing with
Axis/Java?

Hi Samisa,
My perspective was from the OO side. Having a thing called set HTTPHeader
on a generic Call interface doesn't sound right to me.
However, I see that having as much commonality as possible with Java would
be good. Can we point to other areas in the code where we have simalarity
to justify this approach?

If you look at Java, it uses direct simple API calls for simple things as
setHTTPHeader. I think if we are to use handlers it would make a simple
tasks such as set HTTP heders more difficult. Also users will have the
extra burden of setting up handlers even for simple tasks.
But for setting custom SOAP headers, Handlers would be a good idea.
Therefor I think we have to draw a line and define what are to be supported
with handlers and what are not to be supported by handlers.
For setHTTPHeader I would still preffer the way that I have suggested,
rhather than handlers.
But for complex SOAP headers such as security related ones, lets use
handlers.

Good short-term answer Samisa - how about we move to a handler model on the
client side to enable Transport handlers to be registered which could do
this in a more generic way? I believe there is a model for this already in
Java Axis? But I'm not familiar with it yet.
