<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

   <soapenv:Header />

   <soapenv:Body>

       <ns:service_soap_call soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">

        <login>test</login>

        <password>test</password>

      </ns:service_soap_call>

   </soapenv:Body>

</soapenv:Envelope>

Why would you want to do that in Application.cfc? The whole idea behind the design of IsSOAPRequest() is that it is to be used within a CFC to indicate when the CFC is called as a web service. In your case, it would be appropriate to put it in MyPointsBank.cfc instead.

Thanks BKBK,

I want to validate soap request before calling the targeted CFC method.
Consider this example if the soap request without the method body like below:

<cfxml variable="mydata">

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

   <soapenv:Header />

   <soapenv:Body>

      

   </soapenv:Body>

</soapenv:Envelope>

</cfxml>

then how to validate this and display proper fault code. In this case coldfusion generating a below exception:

<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:Body>

      <soapenv:Fault>

         <faultcode>soapenv:Server.userException</faultcode>

         <faultstring>java.lang.Exception: Body not found.</faultstring>

         <detail>

            <ns1:stackTrace xmlns:ns1="http://xml.apache.org/axis/">java.lang.Exception: Body not found.

at org.apache.axis.providers.java.RPCProvider.processMessage(RPCProvider.java....

but I wan to display proper fault code.

Any Idea!

My Dear BKBK if you check request xml above, then there is no function name(cfc component function: service_soap_call) and function body. So flow will not come inside a function and code will not execute.

Please could you make simple component like below:

Webservice.cfc

<cffunction name="service_soap_call" access="remote" output="no" returntype="any" >

      <cfargument name="str">

     <cfreturn arguments.str>

   </cffunction>

</cfcomponent>

if CFC component on your localhost then you can access web service url: http://localhost/Webservice.cfc?wsdl

then call this web service via this localhost url in your cfm with below below code:

CFhttp.cfm

<cfxml variable="mydata">
        <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:wor="https://www.worldmilesafrica.com">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>    
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
</cfxml>

  <cfhttp url="http://localhost/Webservice.cfc?wsdl" result="myresult">
  <cfhttpparam type="header" name="content-type" value="text/xml">
        <cfhttpparam type="header" name="SOAPAction" value="">
  <cfhttpparam name="soapInput" type="xml" value="#trim(mydata)#"/>
</cfhttp>

<cfdump var="#myresult.fileContent#">

Please can try this example so you will have clear picture and understand correctly.

I am using ColdFusion 8 but I have checked in ColdFusion 11 same error.

thanks

No function name and body? This is confusing. You did define the following named function:

<cffunction name="service_soap_call" access="remote" output="no" returntype="any" >

</cffunction>
