Soap Header management with JBI and Open ESB.pdf

This paper describes the best practices for SOAP header management with Open-ESB. We noticed that open-ESB users often face difficulties when dealing with Soap Header with WSDL documents. In Fact, JBI 1.0 imposes to design services interfaces only with the abstract part of WSDL documents where nothing has been plan to support protocol characteristics like Soap Headers. Moreover, Open-ESB does not propose “hooks” or interceptor to modify the Soap Messages with low-level languages like Java or c#. The aim of this tutorial is to find an easy way to manage SOAP headers in Open-ESB, by using the abstract part of WSDL documents.
