SOAP cfhttpparam header syntax

Report · Dec 19, 2012

I have been working for days trying to figure out this web service header issue.

Format I need to send Header in:

<soap:Header>
 <wsse:Security soap:mustUnderstand="1">
  <wsse:UsernameToken namespaces>
            <wsse:Username>username</wsse:Username>
            <wsse:Password Type="type info">password</wsse:Password>
            <wsse:Nonce>nonce</wsse:Nonce>
            <wsu:Created>date created</wsu:Created>
        </wsse:UsernameToken>
    <wsse:Security>
</soap:Header>

What I have

<cfsavecontent variable="soapHeader">
    <cfoutput>
    <soap:Header>
        <wsse:Security soap:mustUnderstand="1">
            <wsse:UsernameToken namespaces>
                <wsse:Username>myUsername</wsse:Username>
                <wsse:Password Type="type info">myPassword</wsse:Password>
                <wsse:Nonce>blahblah</wsse:Nonce> 
                <wsu:Created>2012-12-18</wsu:Created>
            </wsse:UsernameToken>
        <wsse:Security>
    </soap:Header> 
    </cfoutput>
</cfsavecontent>
<cfhttp 
    method="post"
    url="https://Website.asmx?wsdl"
    result="httpResponse">
    <cfhttpparam
     type="header"
     name="Security"
        value="#trim( soapHeader )#"/> 
    <cfhttpparam
    type="body"
        value="#trim( soapBody )#"/>
</cfhttp>

It's connecting to the destination but my header syntax isn't correct. I feel like I should be using cfhttpparam's to include the header data, but I'm not sure of the syntax I should be using there. Because in the 'Format I need to send Header in' it's written like 'wsse:Security' and within that 'wsse:UsernameToken namespaces'.

How do I format my httpparams to include my fields correctly?

I tried :

cfhttpparam
     type="header"
     name="Security:UsernameToken"

But it didn't work.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

<cfhttpparam type="header"> identifies a header to the web service. So you might be duplicating things when you use it to send <soap:Header> ...</soap:Header>. Try sending it as XML type, thus

<cfhttpparam

type="xml"

name="Security"

value="#trim(soapHeader)#"/>
