Description

I'm porting a RESTy service from Celtix 1.something to CXF and have noticed some differences in the way the HTTP protocol headers are handled.

For example, in a service implemented using a Provider, I've tried getting the headers from the MessageContext like this:

ctx.get(javax.xml.ws.handler.MessageContext.HTTP_REQUEST_HEADERS);

This returns null though. Calling:

Map<String, List<String>>hdrs = ctx.get (org.apache.cxf.message.Message.PROTOCOL_HEADERS);

works though and I can get the headers ok.

I also need to set the response headers and should be able to set a header like this:

Map<String, List<String>>hdrs = ctx.get (javax.xml.ws.handler.MessageContext.HTTP_RESPONSE_HEADERS);
hdrs.put(headerName, headerValue);

and have it added to the outgoing response. However, as above using the MessageContext property does not return anything. I've tried using the org.apache.cxf.message.Message property like this

Map<String, List<String>>hdrs = ctx.get (org.apache.cxf.message.Message.PROTOCOL_HEADERS);
hdrs.put(headerName, headerValue);

but there's no sign that the header has been correctly added.
