This page contains information about JAX-WS RI 2.2.7 specific features and extensions:
At times you need a way to send and receive SOAP headers in your
message - these headers may not be defined in the WSDL binding but
your application needs to do it anyway. One approach has been to write
a SOAPHandler
to do it, but its more work and is
expensive as SOAPHandlers
work on
SOAPMesssage
which is DOM based and JAX-WS runtime
would need to do conversion from its abstract
Message
representation to
SOAPMessage
and vice versa.
There is a way to do it on the client side by downcasting the
proxy to WSBindingProvider
and use methods on
it.
You would downcasting the proxy to
WSBindingProvider
and set the
Outbound
headers.
HelloService helloService = new HelloService(); HelloPort port = helloService.getHelloPort(); WSBindingProvider bp = (WSBindingProvider) port; bp.setOutboundHeaders( // simple string value as a header, like stringValue Headers.create(new QName("simpleHeader"), "stringValue"), // create a header from JAXB object Headers.create(jaxbContext, myJaxbObject));
List<Header> inboundHeaders = bp.getInboundHeaders();
Web Services developers generally need to see SOAP Messages that are transferred between client and service for debugging. There are SOAP Monitors for this job, but you need modify the client or server code to use those tools. JAX-WS RI provides logging of SOAP messages
Set system property
com.sun.xml.ws.transport.http.client.HttpTransportPipe.dump=true
Set system property
com.sun.xml.ws.transport.http.HttpAdapter.dump=true
This is a very useful feature while developing Web Services.
Often the soap fault messages does n't convey enough information about
the problem. JAX-WS RI relieves you from digging out
the server logs to find out the stacktrace. Now the whole stacktrace
(including nested exceptions) is propagated in the SOAP Fault and the
complete exception stacktrace is visible to the client as cause of
SOAPFaultException
.
Propagation of Stack trace is on by default. If you think its not safe for your Web Service Application to send the complete stack trace, you can turn off this functionality by setting the system property
com.sun.xml.ws.fault.SOAPFaultBuilder.disableCaptureStackTrace=false
