Hi,

we are migrating from WebLogic web-services to Spring-WS (1.5.X). There is currently one issue we are facing:

We need to pass a context object (on WLS it is passed as SOAP-Header element) to other services that are still running on WLS from the Spring-WS powered service. The header element is still formulated on client side and the newly created WS (Spring-WS) should just pass it to other services.

I can imagine how the custom element would be passed: override the doWithMessage(WebServiceMessage message) method...

Is there a way to generate the wsdl with the help of DefaultWsdl11Definition to contain that custom header element? See the example:

<wsdl:operation name="GetSomeInformation">
	<soap:operation
		soapAction="http://www.dummyservice.com/InformationService/GetSomeInformation" />
	<wsdl:input>
		<soap:body use="literal" />
		<soap:header message="ctx:ServiceContextMessage" part="serviceContext" use="literal" />
	</wsdl:input>
	<wsdl:output>
		<soap:body use="literal" />
	</wsdl:output>
	<wsdl:fault name="Error">
		<soap:fault name="Error" use="literal" />
	</wsdl:fault>
</wsdl:operation>

Thanks for help
