Header Element Properties
In the Properties view, under General, you can view basic information about a header element in an operation’s request or response.
Property
Description
Name
Displays the name of the Header element.
Document type
Displays the fully qualified name of the IS Document type that defines the Header element.
Must understand
Indicates whether the Header element must be understood by the SOAP node in order for the message to be processed.
“must Understand” is a SOAPHeader attribute. If mustUnderstand is set and the SOAP Node Receives a Header that it does not understand, it must not process the SOAP Request and the SOAP Node must return a “Not Understood” Fault.
If this attribute is set to True for a consumer web service descriptor, the Must Understand attribute of the Header is set to true in the request.
Note:
The Must understand property can be edited for a header in a consumer web service descriptor or WSDL first provider web service descriptor only.
Role
URI naming the Actor (for SOAP 1.1) or Role (for SOAP 1.2) at which this header element is targeted. A Header is “targeted” at a SOAP Node if the node is acting in the role specified on that Header. The possible values are defined by the SOAP Specification.
Note:
The Role property can be edited for a header in a consumer web service descriptor or WSDL first provider web service descriptor only.
