WS Client using JAXB for marshalling

[zayhen]

Hello guys,

First time using Spring-WS. I am trying to get my WS client to return me objects using JAXB marshalling.

When I access the WS, this is the Exception I get:

org.springframework.ws.soap.SoapMessageCreationException: Could not create message from InputStream: Invalid Content-Type:text/html. Is this an error message instead of a SOAP response?; nested exception is com.sun.xml.internal.messaging.saaj.SOAPExceptionImpl: Invalid Content-Type:text/html. Is this an error message instead of a SOAP response?

I know the WS is working fine as I can access it via Soap UI.

That's my unit test context:

<?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:aop="http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop"
	xmlns:tx="http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx"

       http://www.springframework.org/schema/jee http://www.springframework.org/schema/jee/spring-jee-2.0.xsd ">

	<bean id="synonymWordsService"
		class="com.b.service.SynonymWordsServiceClient">
		<property name="template" ref="synonymWebServiceTemplate" />
	</bean>

	<bean id="synonymWebServiceTemplate"
		class="org.springframework.ws.client.core.WebServiceTemplate">
		<property name="defaultUri"
			value="http://host:port/SMW" />
		<property name="messageFactory" ref="messageFactory" />
		<property name="marshaller" ref="synonymMarshaller" />
		<property name="unmarshaller" ref="synonymMarshaller" />
	</bean>

	<bean id="synonymMarshaller"
		class="org.springframework.oxm.jaxb.Jaxb2Marshaller">
		<property name="contextPath"
			value="com.b.xml.getsynonymwords" />
	</bean>

	<bean id="messageFactory"
		class="org.springframework.ws.soap.saaj.SaajSoapMessageFactory" />

</beans>

And that's my client code:

package com.b.service;

import java.util.Collection;

import org.springframework.ws.WebServiceMessage;
import org.springframework.ws.client.core.WebServiceMessageCallback;
import org.springframework.ws.client.core.WebServiceTemplate;
import org.springframework.ws.soap.SoapMessage;

import com.b.xml.getsynonymwords.GetSynonymWordsRequest;
import com.b.xml.getsynonymwords.SynonymWordsInfo;
import com.b.xml.getsynonymwords.SynonymWordsInfoListInfo;

public class SynonymWordsServiceClient {
	
	private static final String BRAND_ID = "03";
	protected static final String SOAP_ACTION = "getSynonymWords";
	private WebServiceTemplate template;
	
	public Collection<SynonymWordsInfo> getSynonymWords() {
		GetSynonymWordsRequest request = new GetSynonymWordsRequest();
		request.setBrandId(BRAND_ID);
		SynonymWordsInfoListInfo result = (SynonymWordsInfoListInfo)template.marshalSendAndReceive(request, new WebServiceMessageCallback() {
	        public void doWithMessage(WebServiceMessage message) {
	            ((SoapMessage)message).setSoapAction(SOAP_ACTION);
	        }
	    });
		return null;
	}

	public WebServiceTemplate getTemplate() {
		return template;
	}

	public void setTemplate(WebServiceTemplate template) {
		this.template = template;
	}
	
}

I simply don't get what this Exception means. If anyone knows what I am doing wrong, I would be gratefull :-)

It looks like you are getting an html-page back. Probably an error page.

When you work with web services, always use a tcp sniffer, for example tcpmon. Install one and let us know what the response is.

It is easy to get name spaces etc. wrong when you create a web service. The client you have been using to test your service might not be as strict as jaxb.

Cheers

Hm,

I don't believe that's the problem, because this is the response body:

<env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
   <env:Header/>
   <env:Body>
      <m:getSynonymWordsResponse xmlns:m="http://com/b/sm/jws">
         <get:getSynonymWordsResponse xmlns:get="http://www.b.com/getSynonymWords">
            <synonymWordsInfo/>
         </get:getSynonymWordsResponse>
      </m:getSynonymWordsResponse>
   </env:Body>
</env:Envelope>

These are the headers:

Transfer-Encoding	chunked
Date	Mon, 15 Dec 2008 21:38:26 GMT
#status#	HTTP/1.1 200 OK
SOAPAction	""
Set-Cookie	JSESSIONID=N2xjJGTSQj3fmjmhtJMdSWBJt4fSgRfrsTyV8DFmWzgQDvgxN8n9!599367006; path=/
Content-Type	text/xml; charset="utf-8"
X-Powered-By	Servlet/2.5 JSP/2.1
Cache-Control	no-cache="set-cookie"

As you can see, the content type is text/xml

[sameerean]

The error message says - Invalid Content-Type:text/html. Even though the response is in proper format, the client detects it as text/html instead of text/xml. Not sure if things going wrong after or before marshaling. Need to see your server configuration code - application-context.

However, can you try adding this additional property to your synonymWebServiceTemplate ?

<property name="messageSender">
<bean
class="org.springframework.ws.transport.http.Commo nsHttpMessageSender">
</bean>

If it does not work, you can find a step by step tutorial for building the Spring-WS at http://justcompiled.blogspot.com/201...spring-ws.html

Hope it helps.
