Spring Web Service Template: Add username token

jax-wsspringspring-wsweb services

I have a web app that acts as a client to a Jax-WS web service implemented using Spring WS. The Spring WS is configured to require a username token in the SOAP header. In the web app I plan to use the Spring web service template but I can't seem to find any examples which show how to add a UsernameToken to the outgoing request.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

You have to use Interceptors. See Chapter 7. Securing your Web services with Spring-WS.

The configuration would be something like this

<bean id="webServiceTemplate" class="org.springframework.ws.client.core.WebServiceTemplate">
    <property name="marshaller" ref="marshaller" />
    <property name="unmarshaller" ref="marshaller" />
    <property name="defaultUri"
        value="http://localhost:8080/ws-demo/myws" />
    <property name="interceptors">
        <list>
            <ref bean="wsSecurityInterceptor" />
        </list>
    </property>
</bean>

<bean id="wsSecurityInterceptor" class="org.springframework.ws.soap.security.wss4j.Wss4jSecurityInterceptor">
    <property name="securementActions" value="UsernameToken"/>
    <property name="securementUsername" value="Ernie"/>
    <property name="securementPassword" value="Bert"/>
</bean>
