WS Addressing in SOAP Client Request

[Framus]

Hello everybody,

I am currently developing a service which acts as a adapter for a legacy SOAP service, therefore I use the quarkus-cxf plugin to generate and implement the SOAP client based on the services wsdl.

So far so good. I already got everything up and running including ws-Security.

Additionally to ws-security, the service uses the ws-addressing From field, to obtain an app token.
I can see here that ws-addressing is supported, but I was not able to find any docs or examples how to use it in scope of a soap Client

For ws-security, there is the WSS4JInInterceptor. Is there something similar for ws-addressing?

In the end, I need to add something like this in the soap request:

<soapenv:Header xmlns:wsa="http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing">
     <wsa:From><wsa:Address>appToken:’Actual appToken value’</wsa:Address> </wsa:From>
</soapenv:Header>

I would appreciate any help or hint where to find documentation about this

Cheers
Framus

We do not have anything Quarkus CXF specific at the moment. You need to configure the client in the same way as you would with plain CXF - see e.g. here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27419107/apache-cxf-ws-addressing-how-to-set-from-replyto-headers
If the token is constant throughout the whole life of the application, then you can set it at application startup, something like:

@ApplicationScoped
public class Init {

    @CXFClient("myClient")
    MyService myService;

    void onStart(@Observes StartupEvent ev) {

        AddressingProperties maps = new AddressingPropertiesImpl();
        maps.setFrom(...);
        ((BindingProvider)myService).getRequestContext()
                .put("javax.xml.ws.addressing.context", maps);

    }
}

Thank you for the fast answer and the hint.

IT was the right direction. To make the whole thing work I had to do the following:

• Enable the addressing feature by adding org.apache.cxf.ws.addressing.WSAddressingFeature to the quarkus.cxf.client.myClient.features property
• The context form the CXF example has to be adapted to work with jarkata:
  ((BindingProvider)myService).getRequestContext().put("jakarta.xml.ws.addressing.context", maps);

When I find the time I will open a PR to maybe extend the documentation here if this is wanted.

So thank you again
Cheers
