How to add child element in soap header in java

Question

How to add child element in soap header in java spring webservice.

I have tried two approach but nothing is working please suggest me what need to be done?

first approach :-

soapHeaderString.append("<tem:Culture>en_Us</tem:Culture><tem:AgentCode>PumpkinSafari</tem:AgentCode><tem:PartnerID></tem:PartnerID><tem:Password>PMP22#in</tem:Password>");

TransformerFactory transformerFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformer = transformerFactory.newTransformer();
// Here we create a Source Tree
StringSource stringSource = new StringSource(soapHeaderString.toString());
transformer.transform(stringSource, soapHeader.getResult());

but it is giving me error

The prefix "tem" for element "tem:Culture" is not bound.

2nd Approach :-

SoapHeaderElement headerElement=soapMessage.getSoapHeader().addHeaderElement(new QName("http://tempuri.org/", "SOAPHeaderAuth","tem"));
headerElement.setText(soapHeaderString.toString());

It produce unescaped sequqnce so service provider give error as it was not able to understand the request.

Please help me what need to be done to solve the problem.

Yes, in my case too it prompts the same error, The prefix "username" for element "wsse:username" is not bound. I tried doing everything to add namespace declaration. But, it doesn't worked!

"Finally", I was able to do it last night with a workaround, converting some way from Spring org.springframework.ws.soap.SoapHeader to javax.xml.soap.SOAPHeader. And no issues now!

SOAPMessage soapMessage = ((SaajSoapMessage) message).getSaajMessage();
SOAPHeader header = soapMessage.getSOAPHeader();
SOAPHeaderElement security = header.addHeaderElement(new QName(SCHEMA, "Security", SCHEMA_PREFIX));
SOAPElement usernameToken = security.addChildElement("UsernameToken", SCHEMA_PREFIX);
SOAPElement usernameElement = usernameToken.addChildElement("Username", SCHEMA_PREFIX);
SOAPElement passwordElement = usernameToken.addChildElement("Password", SCHEMA_PREFIX);

usernameElement.setTextContent(username);
passwordElement.setTextContent(password);

Through this I was able to add namespace declarations to spring soap header child elements!
