Jdev web service and SOAP header

Question

Hello,
How can I implement a web service in jdev that extracts some elements from the SOAP header ?
How can I implement a web service proxy in jdev so that it inserts elements in SOAP header?
Thank you.
The operation WSDL looks approx like this:
          <operation name="SoapDDXML">
               <soap:operation soapAction="someaction"/>
               <input>
                    <soap:body
                         use="encoded"
                         namespace="ns"
                         encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"
                         parts="psXML"/>
               </input>
               <output>
<soap:Header>
<OurCredentials xmlns="ns">
<UserName>string</UserName>
<Password>string</Password>
</OurCredentials>
</soap:Header>
                    <soap:body
                         use="encoded"
                         namespace="ns"
                         encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"
                         parts="Result"/>
               </output>
          </operation>

Hello,
When using OracleAS/JDeveloper 10.1.3.x you are creating Web Service using the standard JAX-RPC API. This API uses the SOAP with Attachments API for Java (SAAJ) to manipulate SOAP messages.
When dealing with SOAP Header, it is common usage to use the notion of "handler" to set/read header from the messages.
The chapter "Using JAX-RPC Handler" is a good point to start to see how do deal with this requirement,
When manipulating the header in the handler, the code will look like:
SOAPHeader header = message.getSOAPHeader();
Name headerName = soapFactory.createName("OurCredentials", "ns", "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/");
.. // add sub element
SOAPHeaderElement headerElement = header.addHeaderElement(headerName);also..
Could you specify the version of JDeveloper and the type of Web Service that you are using when ascking a question on the forum it help community member to provide a better answer.
