How to add xmlbean document element to soap header spring-ws

Question

I am trying to hit a webservice using spring-ws, but the webservice producer requires a custom element in the soap header. I am very new to webservices, and am having trouble trying to inject the values into the soap header. I am using XMLBeans to transform from xsd to java and also to do the marshaling and unmarshaling. I have constructed the xmlbean document and set all values for the custom header element, I just need to get the document or maybe even just the element attached to that document to be injected into the soap header. Listed below is the wsdl (just header) in soapui (what I used to learn and do initial testing)

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:v1="http://www.ups.com/XMLSchema/XOLTWS/UPSS/v1.0" xmlns:v11="http://www.ups.com/XMLSchema/XOLTWS/Rate/v1.1" xmlns:v12="http://www.ups.com/XMLSchema/XOLTWS/Common/v1.0">
   <soapenv:Header>
      <v1:UPSSecurity>
         <v1:UsernameToken>
            <v1:Username>name</v1:Username>
            <v1:Password>password</v1:Password>
         </v1:UsernameToken>
         <v1:ServiceAccessToken>
            <v1:AccessLicenseNumber>accesskey</v1:AccessLicenseNumber>
         </v1:ServiceAccessToken>
      </v1:UPSSecurity>
   </soapenv:Header>

I found a solution that works, and isn't much code. I had to ditch using xmlbeans, and just create the elements, but at least the functionality is there and the webservice calls works.

@Override
public void doWithMessage(WebServiceMessage message) throws IOException, TransformerException
{
    try
    {
        SOAPMessage soapMessage = ((SaajSoapMessage)message).getSaajMessage();
        SOAPHeader header = soapMessage.getSOAPHeader();
        SOAPHeaderElement soapHeaderElement = header.addHeaderElement(new QName("http://www.ups.com/XMLSchema/XOLTWS/UPSS/v1.0", "UPSSecurity", "v1"));
        SOAPEnvelope envelope = soapMessage.getSOAPPart().getEnvelope();
        envelope.addNamespaceDeclaration("v1", "http://www.ups.com/XMLSchema/XOLTWS/UPSS/v1.0");

        SOAPElement usernameToken = soapHeaderElement.addChildElement("UsernameToken", "v1");
        SOAPElement username = usernameToken.addChildElement("Username", "v1");
        SOAPElement password = usernameToken.addChildElement("Password", "v1");

        SOAPElement serviceAccessToken = soapHeaderElement.addChildElement("ServiceAccessToken", "v1");
        SOAPElement accessLicenseNumber = serviceAccessToken.addChildElement("AccessLicenseNumber", "v1");

        username.setTextContent("username");
        password.setTextContent("password");
        accessLicenseNumber.setTextContent("key");
    } 
    catch (SOAPException e)
    {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

You can marshal to a SoapHeader 's Result, like so:

SoapMessage msg = ...
SoapHeader header = msg.getSoapHeader();

XmlBeansMarshaller marshaller = ...
MyXmlBeansDocument doc = ...
marshaller.marshal(doc, header.getResult());

You can convert an XmlObject (XmlBeans model) to a SOAPElement using the following factory method:

YourModel xmlObject = YourModelDocument.Factory.newInstance().addNewYourModel();
SOAPElement soapElement = SOAPFactory.newInstance()
        .createElement((Element) xmlObject.getDomNode());

The XmlObject must be part of a document otherwise getDomNode() will return an XmlFragment rather than an Element .

Once converted to a SOAP element, the XML can be added to most parts of a SOAPMessage using addChildElement() . For example:

SOAPMessage soapMessage = MessageFactory.newInstance().createMessage();
soapMessage.getSOAPBody().addChildElement(soapElement);
