Edit the DataWeave code to get the API key, which is a header property:

%dw 2.0
output application/java
ns ns0 http://mulesoft.org/tshirt-service
---
{
      body : {
         ns0#OrderTshirtResponse: {
           orderId: "I got a request from "
           ++ payload.body.ns0#OrderTshirt.name
           ++ " using the following auth header "
           ++ (payload.headers["AuthenticationHeader"].ns0#AuthenticationHeader.apiKey default "")
        }
    } write "application/xml"
}

Save and run the project again.
