I am exposing my flow service as a webservice and I have created a WSDL for the service consumers to invoke my service. I am using wM 7.1.2

My issue is this :

How do I make elements in the SOAP:Header available to my service ? Because, only the SOAP:Body content gets passed available to my service by default.

Right now, I have built a Header handler flow service for my web service using which I extract the elements I need from the SOAP:Header and add it to the SOAP:Body. So, the elements will be available in the SOAP:Body and get passed to my actual flow service.

Is this really the best way to do this ? Any better alternatives ?

Thanks a lot !

You can use the soaheaders document which will be available in the flow service. Also you can use queryXMLNode to get the values from the soapheaders.

Hari,

Pls review the "7-1-2_Web_Services_Developers_Guide",it covers the information how to add SOAP Headers to WSD provider.

Thanks for the response. I managed to add the header to the provider WSD.
