Using WSDL

The WSDL extension elements used to configure an HTTP client are defined in the namespace http://cxf.apache.org/transports/http/configuration . It is commonly referred to using the prefix http-conf . In order to use the HTTP configuration elements you will need to add the line shown below to the definitions element of your endpoint's WSDL document.

HTTP Consumer WSDL Element's Namespace

<definitions ...
   xmlns:http-conf="http://cxf.apache.org/transports/http/configuration

The http-conf:client element is used to specify the connection properties of an HTTP client in a WSDL document. The http-conf:client element is a child of the WSDL port element. It has the same attributes as the client element used in the configuration file.

The example below shows a WSDL fragment that configures an HTTP client to specify that it will not interact with caches.

WSDL to Configure an HTTP Consumer Endpoint

<service ...>
   <port ...>
      <soap:address ... />
      <http-conf:client CacheControl="no-cache" />
   </port>
</service>
