Spring SOAP Service accepts username/password: how to require that info via WSDL? - spring

Question

I have a SOAP service implemented using Spring. The service accepts the username/password via the <UsernameToken> element in the SOAP header. That all works fine.
However, the client consuming this SOAP service requests that I include in the WSDL file that the username/password is required via a <Policy> in the <wsdl:binding> element.
I have a method in my code like:
#EnableWs
#Configuration
public class SoapWebServiceConfig extends WsConfigurerAdapter {
#Bean
public DefaultWsdl11Definition defaultWsdl11Definition(XsdSchema s) {
var wsdl11Definition = new DefaultWsdl11Definition();
wsdl11Definition.setPortTypeName("MyPort");
wsdl11Definition.setLocationUri("/soap");
wsdl11Definition.setTargetNamespace("http://myservice.com/");
wsdl11Definition.setSchema(s);
return wsdl11Definition;
}
...
}
This produces a WSDL file, but without information in it that the <UsernameToken> is required.
How can I persuade Spring to include the necessary <Policy> information in the WSDL file?
I have looked at the Spring documentation but was unable to determine the incantation necessary. I have looked through the Spring source code but was also not able to see an obvious hook to add the extra information. What I am looking for is something similar to https://stackoverflow.com/a/19726325/220627 but for Spring.

What I do now is a bit of a hack, but I'll put it here in case it's helpful for someone. I'll leave the question open in the hope that someone comes along with a better solution!
private Source addWsdlUsernameTokenPolicy(#Source xml) {
try {
var originalDocumentDOMResult = new DOMResult();
var transformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
transformer.transform(xml, originalDocumentDOMResult);
var doc = (Document) originalDocumentDOMResult.getNode();
// ... alter the document using DOM methods as necessary ...
return new DOMSource(doc);
}
catch (TransformerConfigurationException | TransformerException e) {
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
}
#Bean
public DefaultWsdl11Definition defaultWsdl11Definition(XsdSchema s) {
var wsdl11Definition = new DefaultWsdl11Definition() {
// This is the trick. The getSource() returns the XML of the WSDL.
// You can convert this "Source" (of XML) into a DOM XML structure
// then alter the XML as you like with normal DOM operations.
#Override public Source getSource() {
return addWsdlUsernameTokenPolicy(super.getSource());
}
};
...
return wsdl11Definition;
}
