java web service client, adding http headers

Question

Having created a java web service client using wsimport on a wsdl, I need to set the Authorization header for each soap message embedded in an http request. Having generated a subclass of javax.xml.ws.Service, how can I append an http header to each outgoing request???

Here is the code, based on Femi's answer.

It can be a little tricky to figure out. Works beautifully!

Service jaxwsService = Service.create(wsdlURL, serviceName); Dispatch<SOAPMessage> disp = jaxwsService.createDispatch(portName, SOAPMessage.class, Service.Mode.MESSAGE);  //Add HTTP request Headers Map<String, List<String>> requestHeaders = new HashMap<>(); requestHeaders.put("Auth-User", Arrays.asList("BILL_GATES")); disp.getRequestContext().put(MessageContext.HTTP_REQUEST_HEADERS, requestHeaders);
