addSOAPResponseHeader

Adds a SOAP response header to a web service response. Call only from within a CFC web service function that is processing a request as a SOAP web service.

addSOAPResponseHeader(namespace, name, value [, mustUnderstand])
returns boolean

Argument Reference

Name Type Required Default Description
namespace string Yes   A webservice object as returned from the cfobject tag or the createobject function
name string Yes   Name of the SOAP header
value string Yes   Value of the SOAP header
mustUnderstand boolean No   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 and get the first header as an object (string) and as XML

ws = createObject("webservice", "http://localhost/soapheaders/headerservice.cfc?WSDL");
addSOAPRequestHeader(ws, "http://mynamespace/", "username", "tom", false);
ret = ws.echo_me("argument");
header = getSOAPResponseHeader(ws, "http://www.tomj.org/myns", "returnheader"); 
XMLheader = getSOAPResponseHeader(ws, "http://www.tomj.org/myns", "returnheader", true);
