Accessing All SOAP Header Elements
Problem
You want to process all of the SOAP elements on an inbound message.
Solution
Use the
SOAPHeader.examineAllHeaderElements
method to get an iterator. Use the iterator
to inspect the
SOAPHeaderElement
objects one at a time.
Discussion
Example 5-11
shows how this works.

package allHeaders;

import javax.xml.namespace.QName;
import javax.xml.soap.MessageFactory;
import javax.xml.soap.SOAPBody;
import javax.xml.soap.SOAPBodyElement;
import javax.xml.soap.SOAPException;

import javax.xml.soap.SOAPEnvelope;
import javax.xml.soap.SOAPHeaderElement;
import javax.xml.soap.SOAPMessage;
/**

public class AllHeaders {
private static final String NS = "urn:soacookbook.saaj";
public static void main(String args...) {
try {
AllHeaders me = new AllHeaders();
me.showHeaders(me.createMessage());
} catch (SOAPException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
