Sample configuration needed for MessageIDExtractor Axis handler

Question

Hi there,
I am trying to configure the MessageIDExtractor Axis handler (java:com.sap.aii.axis.soap.MessageIDExtractor) in a SOAP Sender CC. However, the sample provided in de Axis FAQ is not enough to complete the configuration.
I want to take the value of a SOAP Header element in the payload, and reuse that as PI Message ID.
The path to the ID will be somthing like; "anamespace:A_SOAP_Header/AId"
Many thanks,
Roberto

You can use the com.sap.aii.axis.soap.MessageIDExtrator handler to extract some ID value from the SOAP envelope and use it as the message ID. This handler can extract an ID string value (i.e., the 36-character GUID string) from the SOAP envelope and set it to the request or response message ID property in the message context. The ID string must be contained within some XML element. See a configuration for extracting the ID from WS-Addressing's MessageID element. {quote)
Hi,
Thanks for your reply;
I'm familiar with xpath however the FAQ does not mention the use of xpath anywhere. Please see above an extract of the FAQ regarding the MessageIDExtractor;
The provided example of the module configuration looks like this:
Module Key | Parameter Name | Parameter Value
id | handler.type | java.com.sap.aii.axis.soap.MessageIDExtractor
xireq | handler.type | java.com.sap.aii.axis.xi.XI30InboundHandler
sap | module.pivot | true
xires | handler.type | java.com.sap.aii.axis.xi.XI30InboundHandler
When you observe this configuration you notice that there's only one entry for the MessageIDExtractor. How will the handler know which XML field to pick from the incoming SOAP envelope? I think the example is missing some additional parameters where you can provide the xpath query.
Can you clarify?
Many thanks,
Roberto
