Add HTTP headers into Axis Web Service Client

From http://markmail.org/message/q37pmtznlbypuhse

...

We created our own handler which is derived from the
org.apache.axis.transport.http.HttpSender.
In this handler we implemented the following:
We overwrote the method invoke and called the handleRequest-Method.
We registered the handler by changing the client-config.wsdd:

from

to


In the stub of the application we set the required header by using the
setProperty of the call-Object.

call.setProperty("PROP_KEY", "some value");

this is the derived handler:

public class MyHTTPHandler extends HTTPSender
{
public void invoke(MessageContext msgContext) throws AxisFault {

handleRequest(msgContext);
super.invoke(msgContext);

}

public boolean handleRequest( MessageContext context )
{

Hashtable headers = ( Hashtable )
context.getProperty( HTTPConstants.REQUEST_HEADERS );
if ( headers == null )
{
headers = new Hashtable();
context.setProperty( HTTPConstants.REQUEST_HEADERS, headers );
}
String value = (String ) context.getProperty( "PROP_KEY" );
headers.put( "MyHeader", value );
return true;
}
}
