Adds a SOAP header to a web service request before making the request.

addSOAPRequestHeader(webservice, namespace, name, value, mustUnderstand)
returns boolean

Argument Reference

Name Type Required Default Description
webservice string Yes   A webservice object as returned from the cfobject tag
or the createobject function
namespace string Yes   Namespace for the SOAP header
name string Yes   Name of SOAP header
value string Yes   the value for the SOAP header; this can be a CFML XML value.
mustUnderstand boolean No false The mustUnderstand attribute indicates whether processing of the header is optional or mandatory.
This basically translates to the node trying to find an appropriate handler that matches the header
and proceed with processing the message in a manner consistent with its specification. If it can’t find an appropriate handler
it must return an error and stop further processing. If mustUnderstand is set to true
the node is not allowed to ignore it.

Set the username header as a string

/ws = createObject("webservice", "http://localhost/soapheaders/headerservice.cfc?WSDL");
addSOAPRequestHeader(ws, "http://mynamespace/", "username", "tom", false);
