Example

The following example shows the usage of javax.xml.soap.MimeHeaders.getHeader(String name) method.

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.io.ByteArrayInputStream;

import javax.xml.soap.MessageFactory;
import javax.xml.soap.MimeHeaders;
import javax.xml.soap.SOAPConstants;
import javax.xml.soap.SOAPMessage;

public class MimeHeadersDemo {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      try {
         //create a default message factory
         MessageFactory messageFactory = MessageFactory.newInstance(
            SOAPConstants.SOAP_1_2_PROTOCOL);


         String contents = "Hello World!";
         // add raw content
         ByteArrayInputStream bis = new ByteArrayInputStream(
            contents.getBytes());

         MimeHeaders headers = new MimeHeaders();
         
         // add a MIME header
         headers.addHeader("Content-Type", "text/xml");

         // create a new SOAPMessage
         SOAPMessage message = MessageFactory
            .newInstance()
            .createMessage(headers,bis);

         String[] headerContent = message.getMimeHeaders()
            .getHeader("Content-Type");        
         System.out.println("Mime Header Value: " 
            + headerContent[0]);
      } catch (Exception ex) {
         ex.printStackTrace();
      }
   }
}

If we compile the code and execute it, this will produce the following result −

Mime Header Value: text/xml
