How to Extract SOAP Header Information from a SOAP Message in JAX-WS class

Lets assume, you have username and password in your Inbound SOAP Message header. Here is how you can get these headers:

    String userName, password; 

    for (Iterator it = soapMessageContext.getMessage().getSOAPHeader().examineAllHeaderElements(); it.hasNext(); ) {
        
        SOAPHeaderElement e = (SOAPHeaderElement) it.next();
        String eName = e.getElementName().getLocalName();

        if (eName.equals("username")) {
           userName = e.getValue();
        } else if (eName.equals("password")) {
           password = e.getValue();
        }
    }
