How to add soap header in java

Question

i have a NO-.net webservice from oracle To access i need to add the soap header. How can i add the soap header in java?

Authenticator.setDefault(new ProxyAuthenticator("username", "password"));
                System.getProperties().put("proxySet", "true");
                System.setProperty("http.proxyHost", "IP");
                System.setProperty("http.proxyPort", "port");




                proxy = new RegPresMed_Service(new URL("webservice")).getRegPresMed();
                ((BindingProvider) proxy).getRequestContext().put(BindingProvider.ENDPOINT_ADDRESS_PROPERTY, "realwebservice");
                ((BindingProvider) proxy).getRequestContext().put("com.sun.xml.ws.request.timeout", new Integer(60000));
                ((BindingProvider) proxy).getRequestContext().put(BindingProvider.USERNAME_PROPERTY, "webserviceUsername");
                ((BindingProvider) proxy).getRequestContext().put(BindingProvider.PASSWORD_PROPERTY, "webservicePassword");

is this necessary?

 ((BindingProvider) proxy).getRequestContext().put(BindingProvider.USERNAME_PROPERTY, "webserviceUsername");
                    ((BindingProvider) proxy).getRequestContext().put(BindingProvider.PASSWORD_PROPERTY, "webservicePassword");

my soap header is like this:

<wsse:Security soapenv:mustUnderstand="1"
xmlns:wsse="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd">
    <wsse:UsernameToken wsu:Id="UsernameToken-6"
xmlns:wsu="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-utility-1.0.xsd">
        <wsse:Username>username</wsse:Username>
        <wsse:Password
Type="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-username-token-profile-1.0#PasswordText">password</wsse:Password>
        <wsse:Nonce
EncodingType="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-soap-message-security-1.0#Base64Binary">randomnaumber==</wsse:Nonce>
        <wsu:Created>dateCreated</wsu:Created>
    </wsse:UsernameToken>
</wsse:Security>

Answer 2

I struggled to get this working. That's why I'll add a complete solution here:

My objective is to add this header to the SOAP envelope:

   <soapenv:Header>
      <urn:OTAuthentication>
         <urn:AuthenticationToken>TOKEN</urn:AuthenticationToken>
      </urn:OTAuthentication>
   </soapenv:Header>

1. First create a SOAPHeaderHandler class.

   import java.util.Set;
   import java.util.TreeSet;
   
   import javax.xml.namespace.QName;
   import javax.xml.soap.SOAPElement;
   import javax.xml.soap.SOAPEnvelope;
   import javax.xml.soap.SOAPFactory;
   import javax.xml.soap.SOAPHeader;
   import javax.xml.ws.handler.MessageContext;
   import javax.xml.ws.handler.soap.SOAPHandler;
   import javax.xml.ws.handler.soap.SOAPMessageContext;
   
   public class SOAPHeaderHandler implements SOAPHandler<SOAPMessageContext> {
   
       private final String authenticatedToken;
   
       public SOAPHeaderHandler(String authenticatedToken) {
           this.authenticatedToken = authenticatedToken;
       }
   
       public boolean handleMessage(SOAPMessageContext context) {
           Boolean outboundProperty =
                   (Boolean) context.get(MessageContext.MESSAGE_OUTBOUND_PROPERTY);
           if (outboundProperty.booleanValue()) {
               try {
                   SOAPEnvelope envelope = context.getMessage().getSOAPPart().getEnvelope();
                   SOAPFactory factory = SOAPFactory.newInstance();
                   String prefix = "urn";
                   String uri = "urn:api.ecm.opentext.com";
                   SOAPElement securityElem =
                           factory.createElement("OTAuthentication", prefix, uri);
                   SOAPElement tokenElem =
                           factory.createElement("AuthenticationToken", prefix, uri);
                   tokenElem.addTextNode(authenticatedToken);
                   securityElem.addChildElement(tokenElem);
                   SOAPHeader header = envelope.addHeader();
                   header.addChildElement(securityElem);
               } catch (Exception e) {
                   e.printStackTrace();
               }
           } else {
               // inbound
           }
           return true;
       }
   
       public Set<QName> getHeaders() {
           return new TreeSet();
       }
   
       public boolean handleFault(SOAPMessageContext context) {
           return false;
       }
   
       public void close(MessageContext context) {
           //
       }
   }
   

   2. Add the handler to the proxy. Note that according javax.xml.ws.Binding's documentation: "If the returned chain is modified a call to setHandlerChain is required to configure the binding instance with the new chain."

   Authentication_Service authentication_Service = new Authentication_Service();
   
   Authentication basicHttpBindingAuthentication = authentication_Service.getBasicHttpBindingAuthentication();
   String authenticatedToken = "TOKEN";
   
   List<Handler> handlerChain = ((BindingProvider)basicHttpBindingAuthentication).getBinding().getHandlerChain();
   handlerChain.add(new SOAPHeaderHandler(authenticatedToken));
   ((BindingProvider)basicHttpBindingAuthentication).getBinding().setHandlerChain(handlerChain);
