Custom HTTP Headers
Hi,
I need to add custom HTTP headers to an outgoing request. The system I'm
integrating with requires the a session identifier to be included in the
HTTP headers on every request.
I've generated the client code using the included wsdl2java.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Renier

Thanks Ian, that did the trick!

You can set a specific cookie in the client policy which will be sent
with every request made with that proxy. This does mean you can't use
the same client proxy object ("myService" below) for requests with
different session IDs at the same time, but that should be a reasonable
tradeoff.
// do the authentication and get the JSESSIONID
JaxWsProxyFactoryBean factory = new JaxWsProxyFactoryBean();
factory.setServiceClass(MyService.class);
factory.setAddress("http://....");
// whatever else you need to set up...
MyService myService = (MyService)factory.create();
Client client = ClientProxy.getClient(cxfStub);
Conduit conduit = client.getConduit();
if(conduit instanceof HTTPConduit) {
HTTPClientPolicy policy = ((HTTPConduit)conduit).getClient();
if(policy == null) {
policy = new HTTPClientPolicy();
((HTTPConduit)conduit).setClient(policy);
}
policy.setCookie(/*value of the Cookie: header*/);
}
// use myService here and it will pass your cookie with each request

Hi Ian,
Thank you for the prompt response.
I should have clarified my problem further.
The authentication process is external to the web service.
The vendor's software flow works as follows :
1) An https request is made using Commons HTTP Client / URLConnection,
the username and password are included as request headers.
2) The JSESSIONID in the response is extracted
---- BEGIN Webservice Interaction
3) Call are made to the Webservice with the JSESSIONID ( retrieved in
step 2 ) tacked on as an HTTP header.
--- END Webservice Interaction
4) Logoff url needs to be invoked using the JSESSIONID.
The way I understand it is if the authentication was part of the web
service interaction the approach you referred me to would work, but in
my case where the authentication is external it would not?
Thanks,
Renier

explains how to maintain the session in JAX-WS. The blog is written for
Glassfish Metro (the Sun RI) but the same approach with the
SESSION_MAINTAIN_PROPERTY works on CXF too.
