Server did not recognize the value of HTTP Header SOAPAction

[juanmanuel32]

Hi,
I'm getting an error when trying to invoke a .NET web service.

This is my bean config:

<bean id="challengeDecoder" class="ChallengeDecoder">
    <property name="defaultUri" value="http://localhost:5007/LicensingWS.asmx"/>
    <property name="request" value="classpath:com/spring/ws/ChallengeRequest.xml"/>
    <property name="action" value="http://server.com/vd/pc/drm/licensing/DecodeChallenge"/>
</bean>

This is the method that invokes the web service:

public void decodeChallenge() throws IOException {
    Source requestSource = new ResourceSource(request);
    StringResult result = new StringResult();
    getWebServiceTemplate().sendSourceAndReceiveToResult(requestSource, new ActionCallback(action), result);
    System.out.println(result);
}

and the exception being thrown:

Exception in thread "main" org.springframework.ws.soap.client.SoapFaultClientException: Server did not recognize the value of HTTP Header SOAPAction: .
	at org.springframework.ws.soap.client.core.SoapFaultMessageResolver.resolveFault(SoapFaultMessageResolver.java:37)
	at org.springframework.ws.client.core.WebServiceTemplate.handleFault(WebServiceTemplate.java:668)
	at org.springframework.ws.client.core.WebServiceTemplate.doSendAndReceive(WebServiceTemplate.java:502)

	at com.c4.spring.ws.ChallengeDecoder.decodeChallenge(ChallengeDecoder.java:34)
	at com.c4.spring.ws.ChallengeDecoder.main(ChallengeDecoder.java:42)

Is there anything wrong in the code or the config?

Regards,
Juan

My mistake,
in the code I should have put:

getWebServiceTemplate().sendSourceAndReceiveToResult(requestSource, new SoapActionCallback(action), result);

This may be a bit late but I thought I'd write something here to show how to solve this problem.

The problem is caused by using the wrong SOAP version. You are trying to make a request to a SOAP 1.2 webservice with a SOAP 1.1 request.

In the header of your request your soap namespace is declared as - http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/
This is the version 1.1 namespace.

You need to set the SOAP 1.2 namespace as this - http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope

In your application context you will be creating a WebServiceTemplate bean which will have a SoapMessageFactory injected.

<bean id="webServiceTemplate" class="org.springframework.ws.client.core.WebServiceTemplate">
        <constructor-arg ref="soapMessageFactory"/>

....

The soapMessageFactory bean should be declared like so, where you set the set the soapVersion property with a static field like so -

 <bean id="soapMessageFactory" class="org.springframework.ws.soap.saaj.SaajSoapMessageFactory">
        <property name="soapVersion">
            <util:constant static-field="org.springframework.ws.soap.SoapVersion.SOAP_12"/>
        </property>
    </bean>

Make sure you declare the spring-utils namespace in the application context like so -

<beans xmlns:util="http://www.springframework.org/schema/util"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/util http://www.springframework.org/schema/util/spring-util-3.0.xsd">

You should now see the correct soap namespace in the request and it will recieve a valid response.

Hope that helps anyone else with the same issue.

Hello,

I have this exact same issue and I did follow what you have said:

Here is my config :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:tx="http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx"
	xmlns:util="http://www.springframework.org/schema/util"
	xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schem...-beans-2.5.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/util http://www.springframework.org/schema/util/spring-util-3.0.xsd">
	<bean id="messageFactory" class="org.springframework.ws.soap.saaj.SaajSoapMessageFactory">
		<property name="soapVersion">
			<util:constant static-field="org.springframework.ws.soap.SoapVersion.SOAP_12" />
		</property>
	</bean>
	<bean id="webServiceTemplate" class="org.springframework.ws.client.core.WebServiceTemplate">
		<constructor-arg ref="messageFactory" />
		<property name="defaultUri" value="https://ecomapi.networksolutions.com/soapservice.asmx" />
		<property name="messageSender">
			<bean class="org.springframework.ws.transport.http.CommonsHttpMessageSender" />
		</property>
	</bean>
</beans>

and here is my Java client:
