How to add SOAP Headers to Spring Jax-WS Client?

Question

How can I add SOAP Headers to Spring Jax-WS Client?

Specifically, I have a Jaxb object I would like to add to the header but xml examples would be appreciated.

Answer 1

A little bit more elegant (still a class cast is required):

public void doWithMessage(WebServiceMessage message) {
    try {
        SOAPMessage soapMessage = ((SaajSoapMessage)message).getSaajMessage();
        SOAPHeader header = soapMessage.getSOAPHeader();
        SOAPHeaderElement security = header.addHeaderElement(new QName("http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2003/06/secext", "Security", "wsse"));
        SOAPElement usernameToken = security.addChildElement("UsernameToken", "wsse");
        SOAPElement username = usernameToken.addChildElement("Username", "wsse");
        SOAPElement password = usernameToken.addChildElement("Password", "wsse");

        username.setTextContent(someUsername);
        password.setTextContent(somePassword);
    } catch (Exception e) {
       //... handle appropriately
    }
}

Note: This example has been testes with Spring WS 2.1.4.
