Add custom soap Header using Java API

Dear all, 

 

I want to test if our soap webservice properly declines requests with a custom header in the envelope 'soapenv:Header'.

 

I'm experiencing trouble in generating a testrequest with such a header through the JAVA packages. I hoped to get away with something like below;

String request = testStepName.getPropertyValue("Request");
request.replace( "</soapenv:Header>", "<customHeader>test</customHeader></soapenv:Header>");
testStepName.setPropertyValue("Request", request);

But at compile time the RawRequest with soapenv:Header is not availble yet. Untill now, I only made changes to the soapenv on wsa:Headers  for which there are special methods, or through changes in a WSDL.

However, for adding other custom headers I can't find any methods in the packages. 

 

So my questions is; Which methods can I user to create custom soapenv:Headers in a teststep using Java ?

 

Thanks in Advance!

Caspar

    I was able to solve this problem using this rather low-tech functie:

     public static void replacePartRawRequestAsString(WsdlTestStep step, String oldStringValue, String newStringValue){
        WsaConfig wsaConfig = ((WsdlTestRequestStep) step).getHttpRequest().getWsaConfig();
            ((WsdlTestRequestStep)step).getHttpRequest().setWsaEnabled(false);
        String request= (step.getPropertyValue("Request"));
        String requestHeaders="<soapenv:Header xmlns:wsa=\"http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing\">"
                +"<wsa:Action>"+wsaConfig.getAction()+"</wsa:Action>"
                +"<wsa:From><wsa:Address>"+wsaConfig.getFrom()+"</wsa:Address></wsa:From>"
                +"<wsa:MessageID>uuid:5c644a44-419e-4ff1-b716-e8e5bd37caec</wsa:MessageID>"
                +"<wsa:To>"+wsaConfig.getTo()+"</wsa:To>"
                +"</soapenv:Header>";
        request=request.replace("<soapenv:Header/>", requestHeaders);
        request=request.replace(oldStringValue, newStringValue);
        ((WsdlTestRequestStep)step).getHttpRequest().setRequestContent(request);
    }

    Which I can call like this:

    replacePartRawRequestAsString(newStep, "</soapenv:Header>", "<illegalHeader>test</illegalHeader></soapenv:Header>");

    Actually comming to think about it, I would like to have the option to directly set how the RAWrequest would come to look like. 

     

    Setting it like this won't work since it's read-only

    testStepName.setPropertyValue("RawRequest", "testtesttest")
