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.

This is an alternative solution:

public class YourServiceClient extends WebServiceGatewaySupport {

    // custom header inner class
    private final class CustomHeader implements WebServiceMessageCallback {

        private String soapAction;
        private long yourHeaderParameter1;
        private long yourHeaderParameter2;


        public CustomHeader(String soapAction, long yourHeaderParameter1, long yourHeaderParameter2) {
            super();
            if (!StringUtils.hasText(soapAction)) {
                soapAction = "\"\"";
            }
            this.soapAction = soapAction;
            this.yourHeaderParameter1 = yourHeaderParameter1;
            this.yourHeaderParameter2 = yourHeaderParameter2;
        }

        @Override
        public void doWithMessage(WebServiceMessage message) {
            try {
                // get the header from the SOAP message
                SoapHeader soapHeader = ((SoapMessage) message).getSoapHeader();

                // create the header element
                ObjectFactory factory = new ObjectFactory();
                YourGeneratedHeaderEntity header = new YourGeneratedHeaderEntity();
                header.setyourHeaderParameter1(yourHeaderParameter1);
                header.setyourHeaderParameter2(yourHeaderParameter2);

                JAXBElement headers = factory.createYourGeneratedHeaderEntity(header);

                // create a marshaller
                JAXBContext context = JAXBContext.newInstance(YourGeneratedHeaderEntity.class);
                Marshaller marshaller = context.createMarshaller();

                // set action
                Assert.isInstanceOf(SoapMessage.class, message);
                SoapMessage soapMessage = (SoapMessage) message;
                soapMessage.setSoapAction(soapAction);

                // marshal the headers into the specified result
                marshaller.marshal(headers, soapHeader.getResult());


            } catch (Exception e) {
                logger.error(e.getLocalizedMessage());
            }

        }
    }

    public YourEntityResponse getYourService(long yourHeaderParameter1, long yourHeaderParameter2) {
        GetYourService request = new GetYourService();

        YourEntityResponse response = (YourEntityResponse) getWebServiceTemplate()
                .marshalSendAndReceive(request, new CustomHeader("https://your.service.asmx?WSDL", yourHeaderParameter1, yourHeaderParameter2));

        return response;
    }

}
