    Description

      Hello,

      the described issue occurs in the following environment: web service A is called from a client. During processing, it calls in turn a web service B, running on the same engine. During the call, a handler is used on the client side, which adds a new SOAP header block. The resulting message:

      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
      <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
      <soapenv:Header>
      <wssb:wssbUUID mustUnderstand="0" actor="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/actor/next" mustUnderstand="0" actor="" xmlns:wssb="http://www.sap.com/wssb">0dd3c106-1028-4ef2-b71e-15f6076383b4</wssb:wssbUUID>
      </soapenv:Header>
      <soapenv:Body>
      <ns1:getAllAvailCardiologists soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:ns1="HPIndex"/>
      </soapenv:Body>
      </soapenv:Envelope>

      As you can see, the attributes "mustUnderstand" and "actor" of the "wssb:wssbUUID" header element appear twice. Debugging has led me to the conclusion that these attribute duplicates are added during serialization at the client side. I have confirmed that immediately before serialization both attributes appear only once each.

      This is the code in the handler to add the header:

      Name uuidNodeName = currentMessage.getSOAPEnvelope().createName("wssbUUID", "wssb", NAMESPACE);
      uuidNode = currentMessage.getSOAPHeader().addHeaderElement(uuidNodeName);
      uuidNode.setMustUnderstand(false);
      uuidNode.setActor(Constants.URI_SOAP11_NEXT_ACTOR);
      uuidNode.addTextNode(uuid.toString());

      All web services run perfectly well if adding the header is omitted (i.e. the above lines are commented out). This issue occurs on Axis, release 1.4 as well as on the current SVN checkout. It also appears on the latest released Xalan and Xerces versions as well as on their latest SVN checkouts.

      The above issue leads to a SAXParseException on the server. The message text reads "Attribute "mustUnderstand" was already specified for element "wssb:wssbUUID"". The stack trace of this exception:

      This exception is also printed out to the console (stdout), however with a different stack trace. The console transcript is attached to this message.

      I also found a bug report with a similar issue. However, I do not know if the two are related: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS-1466.

      Best regards,
      Martin Dreier
