public interface HeaderA SOAP header.A header is immutable, but unlike body it can be read multiple times. The
Headerabstraction hides how the header data is represented in memory; instead, it commits to the ability to write itself to XML infoset.When a message is received from the transport and being processed, the processor needs to "peek" some information of a header, such as the tag name, the mustUnderstand attribute, and so on. Therefore, the
Headerinterface exposes those information as properties, so that they can be checked without replaying the infoset, which is efficiently but still costly.A
Headermay belong to more than oneHeaderListdue to wrapping ofMessage.- See Also:

Method Detail

isIgnorable
boolean isIgnorable(@NotNull SOAPVersion soapVersion, @NotNull Set<String> roles)Checks if this header is ignorable for us (IOW, make sure that this header has a problematic "mustUnderstand" header value that we have to reject.)This method is used as a part of the mustUnderstanx processing. At the end of the processing, the JAX-WS identifies a list of
Headers that were not understood. This method is invoked on thoseHeaders, to verify that we don't need to report an error for it.specifically, this method has to perform the following tasks:
- If this header does not have
mustUnderstandas "1" nor "true", then this method must return true. - Otherwise, check the role attribute (for SOAP 1.2) or the actor attribute (for SOAP 1.1).
When those attributes are absent, the default values have to be assumed.
See
getRole(SOAPVersion)for how the values are defaulted. Now, see if therolesset contains the value. If so, this method must return false (indicating that an error is in order.) - Otherwise return true (since we don't play the role this header is intended for.)
- Parameters:
soapVersion- The caller specifies the SOAP version that the pipeline is working against. Often eachHeaderimplementation already knows the SOAP version anyway, but this allows someHeaders to avoid keeping it. That's why this redundant parameter is passed in.roles- The set of role values that the current JAX-WS pipeline is assuming. Note that SOAP 1.1 and SOAP 1.2 use different strings for the same role, and the caller is responsible for supplying a proper value depending on the active SOAP version in use.- Returns:
- true if no error needs to be reported. False if an error needs to be raised. See the method javadoc for more discussion.
- If this header does not have
-
getRole
@NotNull String getRole(@NotNull SOAPVersion soapVersion)
Gets the value of the soap:role attribute (or soap:actor for SOAP 1.1).If the attribute is omitted, the value defaults to
SOAPVersion.implicitRole.- Parameters:
soapVersion- The caller specifies the SOAP version that the pipeline is working against. Often eachHeaderimplementation already knows the SOAP version anyway, but this allows someHeaders to avoid keeping it. That's why this redundant parameter is passed in.- Returns:
- never null. This string need not be interned.
-
isRelay
boolean isRelay()
True if this header is to be relayed if not processed. For SOAP 1.1 messages, this method always return false.IOW, this method returns true if there's @soap:relay='true' is present.
Implementation Note
The implementation needs to check for both "true" and "1", but because attribute values are normalized, it doesn't have to consider " true", " 1 ", and so on.
- Returns:
- false.
-
getNamespaceURI
@NotNull String getNamespaceURI()
Gets the namespace URI of this header element.- Returns:
- this string must be interned.
-
getLocalPart
@NotNull String getLocalPart()
Gets the local name of this header element.- Returns:
- this string must be interned.
-
getAttribute
@Nullable String getAttribute(@NotNull String nsUri, @NotNull String localName)
Gets the attribute value on the header element.- Parameters:
nsUri- The namespace URI of the attribute. Can be empty.localName- The local name of the attribute.- Returns:
- if the attribute is found, return the whitespace normalized value.
(meaning no leading/trailing space, no consequtive whitespaces in-between.)
Otherwise null. Note that the XML parsers are responsible for
whitespace-normalizing attributes, so
Headerimplementation doesn't have to do anything.
-
getAttribute
@Nullable String getAttribute(@NotNull QName name)
Gets the attribute value on the header element.This is a convenience method that calls into
getAttribute(String, String)- Parameters:
name- Never null.- See Also:
getAttribute(String, String)
-
readHeader
XMLStreamReader readHeader() throws XMLStreamException
Reads the header as aXMLStreamReader.The returned parser points at the start element of this header. (IOW,
XMLStreamReader.getEventType()would returnXMLStreamConstants.START_ELEMENT.Performance Expectation
For some
Headerimplementations, this operation is a non-trivial operation. Therefore, use of this method is discouraged unless the caller is interested in reading the whole header.Similarly, if the caller wants to use this method only to do the API conversion (such as simply firing SAX events from
XMLStreamReader), then the JAX-WS team requests that you talk to us.Messages that come from tranport usually provides a reasonably efficient implementation of this method.- Returns:
- must not null.
- Throws:
XMLStreamException
-
readAsJAXB
<T> T readAsJAXB(jakarta.xml.bind.Unmarshaller unmarshaller) throws jakarta.xml.bind.JAXBExceptionReads the header as a JAXB object by using the given unmarshaller.- Throws:
jakarta.xml.bind.JAXBException
-
readAsJAXB
<T> T readAsJAXB(org.glassfish.jaxb.runtime.api.Bridge<T> bridge) throws jakarta.xml.bind.JAXBExceptionDeprecated.Reads the header as a JAXB object by using the given unmarshaller.- Throws:
jakarta.xml.bind.JAXBException
-
readAsJAXB
<T> T readAsJAXB(XMLBridge<T> bridge) throws jakarta.xml.bind.JAXBException
Reads the header as a data-bond object- Throws:
jakarta.xml.bind.JAXBException
-
readAsEPR
@NotNull WSEndpointReference readAsEPR(AddressingVersion expected) throws XMLStreamException
Reads this header as anWSEndpointReference.- Parameters:
expected- The version of the addressing used to parse the EPR. If the actual infoset and this doesn't agree, then you'll get anWebServiceExceptionstating that fact.- Returns:
- On a successful return, this method never returns null.
- Throws:
XMLStreamException
-
writeTo
void writeTo(XMLStreamWriter w) throws XMLStreamException
Writes out the header as a fragment.- Throws:
XMLStreamException- if the operation fails for some reason. This leaves the writer to an undefined state.
-
writeTo
void writeTo(jakarta.xml.soap.SOAPMessage saaj) throws jakarta.xml.soap.SOAPExceptionWrites out the header to the given SOAPMessage.Sometimes a
Messageneeds to produce itself asSOAPMessage, in which case each header needs to turn itself into a header.- Throws:
jakarta.xml.soap.SOAPException- if the operation fails for some reason. This leaves the writer to an undefined state.
-
writeTo
void writeTo(ContentHandler contentHandler, ErrorHandler errorHandler) throws SAXException
Writes out the header as SAX events.Sometimes a
Messageneeds to produce SAX events, and this method is necessary for headers to participate to it.A header is responsible for producing the SAX events for its part, including
startPrefixMappingandendPrefixMapping, but not startDocument/endDocument.Note that SAX contract requires that any error that does NOT originate from
ContentHandler(meaning any parsing error and etc) must be first reported toErrorHandler. If the SAX event production cannot be continued and the processing needs to abort, the code may then throw the sameSAXParseExceptionreported toErrorHandler.- Parameters:
contentHandler- TheContentHandlerthat receives SAX events.errorHandler- TheErrorHandlerthat receives parsing errors.- Throws:
SAXException
-
getStringContent
@NotNull String getStringContent()
Used to obtain value XYZ from a header that looks like "<header>XYZ</header>". The primary use of this header for now is to access certain Addressing headers quickly.- Returns:
- Can be empty but always non-null.
- Throws:
jakarta.xml.ws.WebServiceException- If the structure of the header is more complicated than a simple string header.
