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???

Answer 1

You can pass a map with custom headers to the BindingProvider (I believe you can set the MessageContext.HTTP_REQUEST_HEADERS property). Try creating an Authorization header and passing it in.
