I would like to present a new way of accessing the SOAP Adapter with anonymous logon without changing the adapter configuration itself or without using any kind of header rewriting.
With the use of a simple servlet deployed in a webapp it is possible to do cross context dispatching - with this little "trick" anonymous logon for the SOAP Adapter is possible - but be aware of security - you need to extend this simple example to control access
Servlet source code
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
public class AnonymousSoapServlet extends HttpServlet { private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L; @Override protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp) throws ServletException, IOException { getServletContext().getContext("/XISOAPAdapter").getRequestDispatcher("/MessageServlet").forward(req, resp); } @Override protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp) throws ServletException, IOException { getServletContext().getContext("/XISOAPAdapter").getRequestDispatcher("/MessageServlet").forward(req, resp); }
}
