Question

Please enlighten me\correct me on following point:

Is there any way to get response header details in exposed SOAP webservice Apex class method?

Like for expamle:

1. For visualforce page, we can access response headers as : ApexPages.currentPage().getHeaders()

2. For REST webservice class, we can accsess response headers with: getHeader method of RestContext.response

It will be very helpful, if you could provide any sample code example

Answer 1

Yes using inputHttpHeaders_x and outputHttpHeaders_x we can get and set the Header attribute in SOAP WSDL. Using them we can easily get cookies and other custom header.

docSample.DocSamplePort stub = new docSample.DocSamplePort();
stub.outputHttpHeaders_x = new Map<String, String>();
String input = 'This is the input string';
String output = stub.EchoString(input);

//Getting cookie header
String cookie = stub.outputHttpHeaders_x.get('Set-Cookie');

//Getting custom header
String myHeader = stub.outputHttpHeaders_x.get('My-Header');
