Add the SOAP Header to the Generated Client
The first step is to modify the generated client implementation by adding a SOAP header element to a
rwsf::CallInfo object. The call to the client proxy
sayHello() service operation method passes in the
rwsf::CallInfo object. The code that assembles the request message adds the SOAP header elements to the SOAP message header as well as adding the transport header elements to the transport header.
NOTE: This example manipulates the SOAP header directly in the client and server implementation code, for the sake of simplicity. A better design would be to create message handlers on the client and server to do this work outside of the business logic. This design would allow future changes without having to recompile and redeploy the service. For information on creating custom message handlers, see
Chapter 14, SOAP Message Handlers. Open the generated client sample implementation, GreetingPortClient.cpp, located in the Extended\app\client directory.
Here’s the generated service operation method, as yet unimplemented. We’ll add the new code to this method.
void invoke_sayHello(GreetingBindingProxy& proxy)
{
std::string hellorequest_in;
std::string return_ret;
rwsf::CallInfo callInfo;
try {
return_ret = proxy.sayHello(callInfo, hellorequest_in);
} catch(const rwsf::SoapFaultException& e) {
std::cout << "Fault Code: " << e.getFault().getFaultcode().asString()
<< std::endl;
std::cout << "Fault String: " << e.getFault().getFaultstring() << std::endl;
}
}
Replace the above code for the service operation method with the following implementation to add a SOAP header element to the request message:
void invoke_sayHello(GreetingBindingProxy& proxy)
{
std::string hellorequest_in("World!");
std::string return_ret;
try {
rwsf::CallInfo callInfo; //1
callInfo.addRequestSoapHeader(rwsf::XmlName("LocaleHeader",
rwsf::XmlNamespace("locale",
"http://www.roguewave.com/examples/webservices/helloworld")),
"es_MX"); //2
return_ret = proxy.sayHello(callInfo, hellorequest_in); //3
std::cout << "Server Response: " << return_ret << std::endl;
} catch(const rwsf::SoapFaultException& e) {
std::cout << "Fault Code: " << e.getFault().getFaultcode().asString()
<< std::endl;
std::cout << "Fault String: " << e.getFault().getFaultstring() << std::endl;
}
}
Save and close the file.
