Authentication with ws:outbound-gateway

[AvinashMunaga]

Hi,

I am stuck with a problem. I have a SOAP web service(secured with password) which I am trying to access using ws:outbound-gateway. Here is my config file looks like below.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

But, I got an error while sending the request.

I have also used interceptor like this, but this also didn't work.

<bean id="wss4jSecurityInterceptor"
class="org.springframework.ws.soap.security.wss4j. Wss4jSecurityInterceptor">
<property name="securementActions" value="UsernameToken" />
<property name="securementUsername" value="OmigService" />
<property name="securementPassword" value="Omig#3021!" />
<property name="securementPasswordType" value="PasswordText" />
</bean>

Also, to mention, I get correct response back from Web Service when I use SOAPUI or any other Web Service client.

Can some one let me know the cause of the exception and how to resolve it?

Thanks,
Avinash

Please don't post the same question in multiple places.

I don't know .net but a quick google indicates this is some problem with the service itself and/or the data sent, rather than an authentication problem.

I suggest you use a tcp/ip monitor (or wireshark etc) to compare the messages being sent by the gateway Vs. your SOAPUI test.

Thanks for the reply. I have posted the question to confirm whether the process I followed is correct or had I did any mistakes?
