webservice outbound gateway always sets an empty SoapAction - how do I remove

[PeteTh]

Is there away to stop the int-ws:outbound-gateway from setting the a SOAP Action in the outgoing SOAP header

We're getting an empty string value, if we inspect the message in TCPMon

SOAPAction: ""

The web service I want to call expects no SOAPAction at all.

There seems to be plenty of examples of how to set a specific value into the SOAPAction (using a header enricher) but none showing how to remove.

We're using Spring Integration 2.1.2.RELEASE

Hi!
H-m...
I don't understand the requirements of such task.
If we read the specification http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/NOTE-SOAP-...#_Toc478383528 we understand SOAPAction doesn't
play a big role...
Can you explian a use-case of your service? What problem are getting when you send an empy SOAPAction ?
As I see everywhere in the Spring-WS "null" SOAPAction is converted into "empty" SOAPAction: SoapUtils.escapeAction()...

Take care,
Artem

The webservice I need to call is implemented in .NET and expects there to be no SOAPAction at all. If I call the webservice using a test tool like SOAPUI all is fine, and I can see that the SOAPAction header is NOT present at all.

But when I call from Spring Integration I get:-

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<soap:Body>
<soap:Fault>
<faultcode>soap:Client</faultcode>
<faultstring>Server did not recognize the value of HTTP Header SOAPAction: .</faultstring>
<detail/>
</soap:Fault>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

because headers are

POST /xxxxxService/xxxxxxxxxxxxSerrvice.asmx HTTP/1.1
Accept-Encoding: gzip
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
SOAPAction: ""
Accept: text/xml
Cache-Control: no-cache


So the endpoint is obviously not very flexible, but we can't change the implementation.

Server did not recognize the value of HTTP Header SOAPAction:

But how about to put correct value for 'SOAPAction'?..
And don't fight with an empy one...
What I can recommend to take a look into custom WebServiceMessageCallback where you can try to create a new SoapMessage with 'null' SOAPAction based on incoming Message.
But I'm about AxiomSoapMessage here...

Sorry I don't see any other point to fix it.

Can you ask this question on Spring WS forum: http://forum.springsource.org/forumd...9-Web-Services ?

Hope that helps

Thanks for your reply.

I have now found the correct value for the SOAPAction.
