CF and Web Service Header content

[Skemcin]

Hi all, here is some code I am using to successfully consume a web service:

quote:

---

<cfinvoke webservice=" http://mydomain/myservice.asmx?wsdl"
method="MyMethod"
returnvariable="wstoken">
<cfinvokeargument name="userName" value="xxxxxx"/>
<cfinvokeargument name="password" value="xxxxxx"/>
</cfinvoke>
<cfdump var="#wstoken#" label="MyMethod" /><br />

---

Get everything back as I would suspect, as far as the <soap:body> of the SOAP is concerned. But this also has information in the <soap:header> that I need to extract.

The <cfinvoke> method of consuming the web service doesn't provide that information - or if it does I do not know how.

I've google stuff all day and I only get examples that fail when I try to implement them or they are from 2003 or 2005. I'm confused/unsure as to how to use all the ColdFusion SOAP functions list here:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/00000379.htm

So, The stuff I am building is not that complex so I am ok with dynamically building all the SOAP in <cfsavecontent> and then sending and receiving the raw information - but I can't figure that out either.

I'm now brain blocked - I've temporarily convinced myself I am not able to resolve this as my searches and attempts to fix it are becoming repetitious.

Any help would be greatly appreciated - just let me know what other information (code) you will need to see and I'll post it.

Thanks in advance.

<!--- Create Web Service --->
<cfset ws = CreateObject("webservice", " http://mydomain/myservice.asmx?wsdl") />

<!--- Consume Web Service --->
<cfset x = ws.MethodToCall(username, password) />

<!---
<cfset addSOAPRequestHeader(ws, " http://www.framingeinstein.com/", "header1", "value1", false) />
<cfset addSOAPRequestHeader(ws, " http://www.framingeinstein.com/", "header2", "value2", false) />
--->

<!--- Retrieve Headers (returns an array of org.apache.axis.message.SOAPHeaderElement Objects --->
<cfset y = ws.getHeaders() />
<!--- Could use GetSoapResponseHeader function if you know the name and namespaces of the header values --->

<!--- Process Response Headers --->
HeaderName = HeaderValue <br />
<cfloop from="1" to="#ArrayLen(y)#" index="i">
<cfoutput>#y .getNodeName()# = #y.getValue()#</cfoutput>
</cfloop>

This would be one way to do it.

Half way there. This will successfully get the soap header value that I need.

<cfset nfws_address=" http://www.yourdomain.com/xxxxxx.xxx?wsdl">
<cfset nfws_namespace=" http://www.yourdomain.com/xxxxxx/">
<cfset nfws_uname="xxxxxx">
<cfset nfws_pword="xxxxxx">

<cfset nfws_method="xxxxxx">
<cfset nfws_token="">

<cftry>
<cfscript>
ws = CreateObject("webservice",nfws_address);
ws.Authenticate(userName = nfws_uname, password = nfws_pword);
nfws_token = getSOAPResponseHeader(ws,nfws_namespace,nfws_method, true);
</cfscript>

<cfcatch type="any">
<cfset ws_token="Something Failed">
</cfcatch>
</cftry>
<cfdump var="#nfws_token#">

Next, see if I can add the token to the next web service call I need to make...
