Apache CXF: A SOAP 1.2 message is not valid when sent to a SOAP 1.1 only endpoint

Question

first of all, I know that there are already some questions on SO about this topic but none of them solved my problem (or I am too stupid to understand them, that's a possibility as well).

So, I have a WSDL. From the WSDL I've generated a Java client using Eclipse CXF plugin. Now I'm doing this:

JaxWsProxyFactoryBean factory = new JaxWsProxyFactoryBean();
factory.setServiceClass(MyServiceInterface.class);
factory.setAddress("myEndpoint");
List<Interceptor<? extends Message>> interceptors = new ArrayList<Interceptor<? extends Message>>();
interceptors.add(new HeaderOutInterceptor());
factory.setOutInterceptors(interceptors);

MyServiceInterface service = (MyServiceInterface) factory.create();

The interceptor only adds an header to the requests I'm sending through the client:

message.put(Message.CONTENT_TYPE, "application/soap+xml");

I'm adding this manually since by default the content type is text/xml and I get a 415 error.

The problem is that with this configuration I get this exception:

org.apache.cxf.binding.soap.SoapFault: A SOAP 1.2 message is not valid when sent to a SOAP 1.1 only endpoint.
at org.apache.cxf.binding.soap.interceptor.ReadHeadersInterceptor.handleMessage(ReadHeadersInterceptor.java:178)
at org.apache.cxf.binding.soap.interceptor.ReadHeadersInterceptor.handleMessage(ReadHeadersInterceptor.java:69)
at org.apache.cxf.phase.PhaseInterceptorChain.doIntercept(PhaseInterceptorChain.java:308)

I've tried adding this annotation to the generated client interface:

@BindingType(javax.xml.ws.soap.SOAPBinding.SOAP12HTTP_BINDING)

But nothing changed. Can anybody help me?

EDIT

I've added a cxf.xml file under the classpath. This is the content:

<?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:jaxws="http://cxf.apache.org/jaxws"
xmlns:soap="http://cxf.apache.org/bindings/soap"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans 
       http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.0.xsd
       http://cxf.apache.org/bindings/soap 
       http://cxf.apache.org/schemas/configuration/soap.xsd
       http://cxf.apache.org/jaxws 
       http://cxf.apache.org/schemas/jaxws.xsd">

<jaxws:endpoint serviceName="ClabService" endpointName="ClabServicePort">
    <jaxws:binding>
        <soap:soapBinding version="1.2" mtomEnabled="true" />
    </jaxws:binding>
</jaxws:endpoint>

</beans>

However, now I get this exception:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.apache.cxf.jaxws.EndpointImpl---51955260': Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is javax.xml.ws.WebServiceException: org.apache.cxf.service.factory.ServiceConstructionException: serviceClass must be set to a valid service interface or class

I've tried to add this during the factory configuration:

factory.setServiceClass(MyServiceInterface_Service.class);

but nothing changed.

Solution 1

You can use JaxWsClientFactoryBean to create client. It will have option to setBinding to Soap 1.2.

JaxWsClientFactoryBean factory = new JaxWsClientFactoryBean();
factory.setServiceClass(MyServiceInterface.class);
factory.setAddress("myEndpoint");
List<Interceptor<? extends Message>> interceptors = new ArrayList<Interceptor<? extends Message>>();
interceptors.add(new HeaderOutInterceptor());
factory.setOutInterceptors(interceptors);
factory.setBindingId("http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap/bindings/HTTP/");//soap 1.2
MyServiceInterface service = (MyServiceInterface) factory.create();

Solution 2

geg already said it, I just want to make it more visible:

import javax.xml.ws.soap.SOAPBinding;
...
factory.setBindingId(SOAPBinding.SOAP12HTTP_BINDING);

Need more clarification on this. What is the end point you are trying to hit?

[Aurasphere]

The endpoint works fine, if I use SOAP UI I get a correct response back. I think the problem is that CXF is generating a SOAP 1.1 client meanwhile the server response is 1.2.

[Vijendra Kumar Kulhade]

if you are getting namespace as SOAP_NAMESPACE = "http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope". You are on soap 1.2. you can check that once? Exception says otherwise.

[Aurasphere]

I'm not sure how to check that on CXF but using SOAP UI I get that namespace back.

[Vijendra Kumar Kulhade]

@BindingType(javax.xml.ws.soap.SOAPBinding.SOAP12HTTP_BINDIN‌​G) doesn't work for me when I tried putting this on my client. I changed the version from xml like <jaxws:binding> <soap:soapBinding version="1.2" mtomEnabled="true" /> </jaxws:binding>. you can try changing the version through xml instead of annotation. I fee the problem is you are not not able to set cxf soap version to 1.2.

[Aurasphere]

Ok, but I don't have an xml configuration since I'm not using Spring. Can I do that anyway? If so, how? I've only found spring tutorials. Thank you!

Follow this post to change soap version stackoverflow.com/questions/4248098/…

[Aurasphere]

I've already tried what that question says (the annotation comes from there) without success. I've updated the question with my most recent tries. Thank you.

Adding this line worked for me: factory.setBindingId("http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap/binding‌​s/HTTP/");

[geg]

Available bindings can be found in the javax.xml.ws.soap.SOAPBinding interface

[MindGame]

Do you provide a complete example of this please? I'm trying to change the SOAP port but with no luck. stackoverflow.com/questions/50141966/…

Use the code from the accepted answer above (stackoverflow.com/a/39405537/332788) and then add the line factory.setBindingId(SOAPBinding.SOAP12HTTP_BINDING); before MyServiceInterface service = (MyServiceInterface) factory.create();

[aliopi]

Wait, I looked again, he already has that line, only he didn't used the constant factory.setBindingId("http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap/binding‌​s/HTTP/");//soap 1.2
