Retrieving SOAP headers from the SOAP response message

You can retrieve SOAP headers from a response message by creating a variable of type SOAPHeaders and then mapping that variable to the SOAP header response.

1. Create a private variable:
   • In Process Designer, create a service flow and add a service task.
   • In the desktop Process Designer, create an integration service that includes a web service integration component.
2. Create a private variable of the type SOAPHeaders.
   This variable will receive the header entries from the SOAP response message.
3. On the Data Mapping tab of the Properties view, in the Output Header Mapping section, map your newly created variable to the response SOAP header.
   When the web service invocation finishes, this variable is initialized for you and it contains all the SOAP header entries from the SOAP response message.
4. To access the headers that have been received by the variable, add JavaScript code to Post-execution Assignments on the Pre & Post tab or add a server script component after the web service integration component and add the code there.
   The following example shows how to access the header entries. In this example, the private variable tw.local.responseHeaders is defined on the Variables tab and mapped to the response SOAP header on the Data Mapping tab.

   var myHeader = new tw.object.SOAPHeader();
   var numHeaders = tw.local.responseHeaders.headers.listLength();
   for (var i = 0; i < numHeaders; i++) {
       if (tw.local.responseHeaders.headers[i].name == "header1") {
           myHeader = tw.local.responseHeaders.headers[i];
       }
   }

5. Complete the definition of the web service integration.
6. Click Save or Finish Editing.
7. Run the service flow or integration service by clicking Run Service and verify that the SOAP headers are added to the request message and that the expected SOAP headers are retrieved from the response SOAP message.
