We are implementing one JAX-WS Web services which requires to retrieve the username and password in SOAP header elements and use those for further use/processing.
When we are retrieving username/password it’s coming as null.


if (Boolean.FALSE.equals(context.get(MessageContext.M ESSAGE_OUTBOUND_PROPERTY))) {
try {
SOAPMessage sm = context.getMessage();
//SOAPEnvelope envelope = context.getMessage().getSOAPPart().getEnvelope();
SOAPEnvelope envelope = sm.getSOAPPart().getEnvelope();
SOAPHeader sh = envelope.getHeader();

System.out.println("Message: "+envelope);
System.out.println("Envelope: "+envelope);
System.out.println("Header: "+sh.toString());
Iterator it = sh.examineAllHeaderElements();
while(it.hasNext()){
System.out.println(it.next());
}

String username;
username = sh.getAttribute("Username");
// username = sh.getAttributeValue("Username");
//String password = sh.getAttribute("Password");
System.out.println("uid:"+username);
//System.out.println("pass: "+password);
context.put("Username", username);
//context.put("Passsword", password);
// default scope is HANDLER (i.e. not readable by SEI
// implementation)
context.setScope("Username", MessageContext.Scope.APPLICATION);
