Format issues with SOAP Header

Report · Mar 10, 2009

Hi,

I am adding seurity(authentication) elements to SOAp Header using addSOAPRequestHeader() function. I am passing the mustUnderstand value as true.

The generated output is as follows

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

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv=" http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd=" http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi=" http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

<soapenv:Header>

<wsse:Security soapenv:actor="" soapenv:mustUnderstand="1" xmlns:wsse=" http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd">

I am not adding any soapenv:actor attribte anywhere in my code. But this attribute is created with a blank value. My web service request is failing for this reason. I am getting fault exception from AXIS Server.

I need to remove this attribute to make it work. Does anybody know how I can do this?

Thanks in Advance
Manohar

I had this problem when trying to access a .net web service. I ended up
creating the soap request XML manually.

Sorry, I can't post the code or extracts but there are 2 steps:
- use cfsavecontent to build your xml (syntax might be wrong, written
directly in the e-mail):
<cfsavecontent variable="xmlRequest">
<soap:Envelope>
<soap:Header>...</soap:Header>
<soap:Body>...</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
</cfsavecontent>

- use cfhttp to post the XML to the web service (I built a simple c#
program to access the web service and then used Wireshark to see how a
correct request looks like).
