Webservice having "No such operation: HTTP GET PATH_INFO"

Question

I currently have a SOAP web service and I am trying to access it's endpoint but I keep getting this error:

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
  <soap:Body>
    <soap:Fault>
      <faultcode>soap:Server</faultcode>
        <faultstring>
 No such operation: (HTTP GET PATH_INFO: /camel-example-reportincident/webservices/incident)
        </faultstring>
       </soap:Fault>
    </soap:Body>
 </soap:Envelope>

UNIT TEST

package org.apache.camel.example.reportincident;

import junit.framework.TestCase;

import org.apache.camel.CamelContext;
import org.apache.camel.impl.DefaultCamelContext;
import org.apache.cxf.jaxws.JaxWsProxyFactoryBean;
import org.jvnet.mock_javamail.Mailbox;

/**
 * Unit test of our routes

public class ReportIncidentRoutesTest extends TestCase {

private CamelContext camel;

// should be the same address as we have in our route
private static String ADDRESS = "cxf://http://localhost:8080/camel-example-reportincident/webservices/incident"
            + "?serviceClass=org.apache.camel.example.reportincident.ReportIncidentEndpoint"
            + "&wsdlURL=report_incident.wsdl";

protected void startCamel() throws Exception {
    camel = new DefaultCamelContext();
    camel.addRoutes(new ReportIncidentRoutes());
    camel.start();
}

protected static ReportIncidentEndpoint createCXFClient() {
    // we use CXF to create a client for us as its easier than JAXWS and works
    JaxWsProxyFactoryBean factory = new JaxWsProxyFactoryBean();
    factory.setServiceClass(ReportIncidentEndpoint.class);
    factory.setAddress(ADDRESS);
    return (ReportIncidentEndpoint) factory.create();
}

public void testRendportIncident() throws Exception {
    // start camel
    startCamel();

    // assert mailbox is empty before starting
    Mailbox inbox = Mailbox.get("[email protected]");
    assertEquals("Should not have mails", 0, inbox.size());

    // create input parameter
    InputReportIncident input = new InputReportIncident();
    input.setIncidentId("123");
    input.setIncidentDate("2008-08-18");
    input.setGivenName("Claus");
    input.setFamilyName("Ibsen");
    input.setSummary("Bla");
    input.setDetails("Bla bla");
    input.setEmail("[email protected]");
    input.setPhone("0045 2962 7576");

    // create the webservice client and send the request
    ReportIncidentEndpoint client = createCXFClient();
    OutputReportIncident out = client.reportIncident(input);

    // assert we got a OK back
    assertEquals("0", out.getCode());

    // let some time pass to allow Camel to pickup the file and send it as an email
    Thread.sleep(3000);
    // assert mail box
    assertEquals("Should have got 1 mail", 1, inbox.size());

    // stop camel
    camel.stop();
}

}

I am attempting to use CFX endpoint along with my camel routing and when I am putting the endpoint address in the route and then unit testing it I am getting a "No endpoint could be found for: //path/to/endpoint".

I am assuming that the fact that I am getting an error when I try to access the endpoint url is the issue but I do not even know where to begin on figuring out how to fix it.

When I hit my webservice on SOAP UI it runs fine as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated, and I can provide any info that is needed.

Solution

Typically, SOAP services are exposed over HTTP using the POST operation. You seem to be trying to access the service using the GET operation.

I am not sure how you try to invoke the service in your unit test, but you need to make sure it's a HTTP/POST call. If you are using plain HTTP, then you could set a header before invoking the HTTP component.

 .setHeader(Exchange.HTTP_METHOD, constant("POST"))

Show your unit test for more detailed input.

Alright, I edited the original and added in the unit test. Thanks for your help!

I had the same issue and noticed that if we dont append "?wsdl" to the end of url I was getting soap fault. So basically url like this works localhost:9081/TST/TSTWebServiceImpl?wsdl But the below url will throw soap fault exception since the ?wsdl is missing at the end of url. localhost:9081/TST/TSTWebServiceImpl This was for a JAX-WS webservice.

@Reddymails ?wsdl is there to retrieve the WSDL definition from the web service. It's not to be confused with the actual service.

I have the same problem. when I don't append "?wsdl" I have soap faylt. how can I avoid this exception?

Had this same problem, found this from google and discovered that my http client was following a redirect that lead to the client using a GET request at the new location. Had to convince the client to continue to use a POST request and it works fine now.

[Petter Nordlander]

@dlamotte POST and redirects are complicated as the specs require you to prompt the user before a new POST is made to the redirect location.
