Custom SOAP Headers

You can add custom SOAP headers using the following methods:

Using the Payload Factory mediator

You can add custom SOAP headers to a request by using the PayloadFactory Mediator in the proxy service as shown in the example below.

<definitions xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse">
<proxy name="StockQuoteProxy"
transports="https http"
startOnLoad="true"
trace="disable">
<description/>
<target>
<endpoint>
<address uri="http://localhost:9001/services/SimpleStockQuoteService"/>
</endpoint>
<inSequence>
<log level="full"/>
<payloadFactory media-type="xml">
<format>
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope"
xmlns:xsd="http://services.samples/xsd"
xmlns:ser="http://services.samples">
<soapenv:Header>
<ser:authenticationRequest>
<userName xmlns="">$1</userName>
<password xmlns="">$2</password>
</ser:authenticationRequest>
</soapenv:Header>
<soapenv:Body>
<ser:getQuote>
<ser:request>
<xsd:symbol>$3</xsd:symbol>
</ser:request>
</ser:getQuote>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
</format>
<args>
<arg value="punnadi"/>
<arg value="password"/>
<arg value="hello"/>
</args>
</payloadFactory>
</inSequence>
<outSequence>
<send/>
</outSequence>
</target>
<publishWSDL uri="file:repository/samples/resources/proxy/sample_proxy_1.wsdl"/>
</proxy>
<sequence name="fault">
<log level="full">
<property name="MESSAGE" value="Executing default "fault" sequence"/>
<property name="ERROR_CODE" expression="get-property('ERROR_CODE')"/>
<property name="ERROR_MESSAGE" expression="get-property('ERROR_MESSAGE')"/>
</log>
<drop/>
</sequence>
<sequence name="main">
<log/>
<drop/>
</sequence>
</definitions>

Using the Script mediator

You can add custom SOAP headers to a request by using the addHeader(mustUnderstand, content) of the Script Mediator in the proxy service as shown in the example below.

<proxy xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse"
       name="CustomSOAPHeaderProxy"
       startOnLoad="true"
       statistics="disable"
       trace="disable"
       transports="http,https">
   <target>
      <inSequence>
         <log level="full">
            <property name="Message" value="IncomingRequest"/>
         </log>
         <script language="js">mc.addHeader(false, &lt;ns:sampleCustomHeader xmlns:ns="gsb:http://wso2.org/sample"&gt;&lt;ns:customInfo&gt;CustomHeader&lt;/ns:customInfo&gt;&lt;/ns:sampleCustomHeader&gt;);</script>
         <log level="full">
            <property name="Message" value="UpdatedMessage"/>
         </log>
         <drop/>
      </inSequence>
   </target>
   <description/>
</proxy>
