how to pass custom http header values in a SOAP service call
Hi All, I have a requirement where i need to pass 4 different custom http header values to different SOAP calls. I went through below article but it doesnt mention where exactly we need to include the provided snippet in invoke-axis 2 acitvity(Step 7) and also the article suggests to hardcode the header values. Is there a way where we can achieve the above requirement without hardcoding values?
We are using PEGA 8.1 Version

Hi Dhruva,
I believe, you can use Local variables in InvokeAxis2 activity and refer the local variable name rather than hard coded values in the code (in Step-7 of InvokeAxis2 activity). So that you can pass the dynamic values to header(s) and their corresponding values in the form of Local variable from the caller rule of InvokeAxis2 activity.
Example:
instead of below code:
com.pega.apache.axis2.client.Options options = new com.pega.apache.axis2.client.Options();
com.pega.apache.commons.httpclient.Header header = new com.pega.apache.commons.httpclient.Header();
header.setName("CUSTOM-HEADER-1");
header.setValue("VALUE-1");
java.util.List list = new java.util.ArrayList();
list.add(header);
options.setProperty(org.apache.axis2.transport.http.HTTPConstants.HTTP_HEADERS, list);
client.setOptions(options);
Use below code:

com.pega.apache.commons.httpclient.Header header = new com.pega.apache.commons.httpclient.Header();
header.setName(LocalVariable_HEADER_1);
header.setValue(LocalVariable_HEADER_1_VALUE);
java.util.List list = new java.util.ArrayList();
list.add(header);
options.setProperty(org.apache.axis2.transport.http.HTTPConstants.HTTP_HEADERS, list);
client.setOptions(options);
In this way, you can pass the values to LocalVariable_HEADER_1 and LocalVariable_HEADER_1_VALUE local variables dynamically from caller.
In your case, you need to create 8 local variables (as you need to pass 4 HTTP headers). 4 to store HTTP header names + 4 to store their corresponding values.
Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
