Soap Header with AuthenticationHeaderFactory

[Clay]

Hi

I use the example provided in this thread: Spring Web Services and soap headers
and have now a problem. In the example, the username and password for the AuthenticationSoapHeader comes from "within" the object.

public object GetObject()
{
            AuthenticationSoapHeader ash = new AuthenticationSoapHeader();
            ash.Login = "user";
            ash.Password = "welcome";
            return ash;
}

I also can pass username and password from the config xml. that all works fine.
But how can i pass username and password from my calling program code?

IApplicationContext ctx = ContextRegistry.GetContext();
IData data = (IData)ctx.GetObject("dataService");
// howto pass here username and password????

Hi,

You can define a place to store your authentication infos and get them from it in the factory code.

You can also use Thread Local Storage from Spring.

puh, long time ago...

on the client, I have something like this

Spring.Threading.CallContextStorage ccs = new Spring.Threading.CallContextStorage();

            Authentication.AuthenticationSoapHeader ash = (Authentication.AuthenticationSoapHeader)ccs.GetData("authenticationHeader");
            if (ash == null)
            {
                ash = new Authentication.AuthenticationSoapHeader();
            }

            ash.Login = "clay";
            ash.Password = "xxxx";
            ccs.SetData("authenticationHeader", ash);

and on the server I read it like this

Authentication.AuthenticationSoapHeader ash = null;

            // WebService environment
            if (System.Web.HttpContext.Current != null && System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Items.Contains("AuthenticationSoapHeader"))
            {
                ash = (Authentication.AuthenticationSoapHeader)System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Items["AuthenticationSoapHeader"];
            }
            // Local environment
            else
            {
                Spring.Threading.HybridContextStorage ccs = new Spring.Threading.HybridContextStorage();
                ash = (Authentication.AuthenticationSoapHeader)ccs.GetData("authenticationHeader");
            }

            // no Authentication Header
            if (ash == null)
            {
                ash = new AuthenticationSoapHeader();
                ash.Login = "unknown";
                ash.Password = String.Empty;
            }

Hope that helps
Best regards
