How to get SOAP Message while Request in WebService.. ?

Question

i am working on Web Logic WebService. I have created Web service and deployed into server.
But now is there any ways to get the SOAP Message while request because i want to add some headers to the my SOAP Message before it sent to the backend.
SOAPMessageContext smc=null;
SOAPMessage soapMsg = smc.getMessage();
System.out.println("SOAP MESSAGE :"+soapMsg);
But I am getting NullPointerException.
any Help ??...
ThankQ.

Hi
In your code the NullPointerException is expected as the message context is null and not initialized before you call getMessage method on it.
You can use soap handlers (client/server side handlers) to add the headers to the message before it is sent to the server.
Soap handler has methods like below in which you can add the headers.
* Handles incoming web service requests and outgoing callback requests
public boolean handleRequest(MessageContext mc)
System.out.println("Soap message is: \n " +
((SOAPMessageContext)mc).getMessage() + "\n");
return true;
