Answer 1

There's enough problems in this code that I'm thinking it's a troll, but heres a start:

The line :

element = envelope.addHeader().addChildElement(qname);

should read:

SOAPHeaderElement secHdrElement = envelope.addHeader().addHeaderElement(qname);

next, instead of:

qname = envelope.createName("mustUnderstand");
element.addAttribute(qname, "1");

probably:

secHdrElement.setMustUnderstand(true);

and

qname = envelope.createName("UsernameToken", "sse", "http://example.com/user.xsd");
element = envelope.getHeader().addHeaderElement(qname);
element.addTextNode("user1");

should be something like:

qname = envelope.createName("UsernameToken", "sse", "http://example.com/user.xsd");
element = secHdrElement.addHeaderElement(
          envelope.createName("UsernameToken", "sse", "http://example.com/user.xsd"));

and so on...
