You can enable an existing Java API for XML-based RPC (JAX-RPC) Web services client to send values in implicit SOAP headers. By modifying your client code to send implicit SOAP headers, you can send specific information within an outgoing Web service request.
Handlers and service endpoints can manipulate implicit or explicit SOAP headers using the SOAP with Attachments API for Java (SAAJ) data model.
You cannot manipulate protected SOAP headers. A SOAP header that is declared protected by its owning component, for example, Web Services Security, is not accessible to client applications. An exception occurs if you try to manipulate protected SOAP headers.
The client application sets properties on the Stub or Call object to send and receive implicit SOAP headers.
You have a JAX-RPC Web services client that is configured to send implicit SOAP headers.
