Tribe,

Using AXIS and C# winforms to build an app.

I'm building my services in java and exposing them through AXIS and
consuming them just fine with C#.

I want now to add some soapheader data for session mgmt and
authorization. I'm building my own WSDD for the service deployment in
AXIS and so I'm allowing AXIS to emit the WSDL which describes the
services.

I want to add something somewhere to direct axis now to emit a
SoapHeader in the WSDL which Visual Studio will then swallow and build
into my reference.cs class.
I've looked and looked. No luck.

Any ideas?

Hi Dave,

While I can't help with the "how to make Axis" part, I can guide you to get
the Headers part.

Do this... create a sample service in ASP.net, and then add some SOAP
headers to it. Plenty of examples for this already on MSDN. Then look at
the generated WSDL. This is what your AXIS WSDL needs to look like...

Hope this helps

Dan,
Thanks for your reply.

Yes I figured out that .NET will emit the SoapHeaders properly for
those services which have been decorated thusly.

And yes I could copy/paste this on to a static WSDL which had been
copied from the dynamic WSDL but this would cause maintenance problems
and I figure if AXIS is already pumping soap descriptions why can't it
do soap headers too.

I'll keep hunting and post my findings to this list.
regards,
dave cline

Hi Dave,

It sounds like an issue to take up with the Axis devs.

With a lot of the free tools, it is turning out to be a common practice to
keep your own (caller owned) WSDL for a remote end point. For myself, I
don't advocate exposing WSDL automatically for any production service. The
reson is you cannot change it anyhow - since it is a contract that your
clients signed up for at the time they were deployed.

Regards

Dan
