Does CXF have a shared context to allow this or do I have to look into something like ThreadLocal? Or is there a better approach available with CXF?

have
@Context HttpHeaders httpHeaders;
and call:
https://jax-rs-spec.java.net/nonav/2.0-rev-a/apidocs/javax/ws/rs/core/HttpHeaders.html#getRequestHeaders%28%29

Next pass this map to
https://jax-rs-spec.java.net/nonav/2.0-rev-a/apidocs/javax/ws/rs/client/Invocation.Builder.html#headers(javax.ws.rs.core.MultivaluedMap)

This builder is returned when one of WebTarget's request() methods is 
called...
