SAXException: bad envelope tag

Question

I'm trying to connect to a webservice https protected through a webservice client. Eclipse generated a stub based webservice client and looks nice to me. The problem comes when I try to call a method from the webservice:

String a = (String)webservice.userProfileServices(xml);

I'm also using the following SOAP headers:

esgGatewayPort = (new EsgGatewayLocator()).getesgGatewayPort();

//setting the authentication header
PrefixedQName name = new PrefixedQName("http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2002/07/secext","Security","wsse");
System.out.println("Setting headers for authentication");
org.apache.axis.message.SOAPHeaderElement sh = new org.apache.axis.message.SOAPHeaderElement(name);
SOAPElement sub;

try {

      String clntUserName="myUser";
      String clntPassword="myPassword";
      sub = sh.addChildElement("UsernameToken");
      SOAPElement element = sub.addChildElement("Username");
      element.addTextNode(clntUserName);
      element = sub.addChildElement("Password");
      element.addTextNode(clntPassword);
      ((org.apache.axis.client.Stub) esgGatewayPort).setHeader(sh);

} catch (SOAPException e) {

      e.printStackTrace();

}

I receive the following:

Any help will be truly appreciated.

What does your Soap Header (sh) look like when you call .setHeader ? This is not a valid header. – Amias

This is my header code: esgGatewayPort = (new sgGatewayLocator()).getesgGatewayPort(); – Yoshi

PrefixedQName name = new PrefixedQName("schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2002/07/…); SOAPHeaderElement sh = new SOAPHeaderElement(name); – Yoshi

SOAPElement sub; try {String clntUserName="u"; String clntPassword="p"; – Yoshi

sub = sh.addChildElement("UsernameToken"); SOAPElement element = sub.addChildElement("Username"); element.addTextNode(clntUserName); element = sub.addChildElement("Password"); element.addTextNode(clntPassword); ((org.apache.axis.client.Stub) esgGatewayPort).setHeader(sh); – Yoshi

After the setHeader looks to have the username and password. What the server is responding is HTML code :-( – Yoshi

SOLVED!!! Well, Due Eclipse connects to Weblogic and creates the stubs, It defined an endpoint which was http. I just pointed out to https, got rid of the port and the ending ?WSDL. – Yoshi

Answer 1

Wrong format of the endpoint

Ex: http://localhost:8080/YourService/

Ex: http://localhost:8080/YourService?wsdl

Correct endpoint format to set the constructor

Ex: http://localhost:8080/YourService

Recto

It was a plaseure, Kishore – Recto

May I know, why we need to call the service without "?wsdl" in WebSphere and with "?wsdl" in other servers ? – Framboise

Answer 2

I resolved the problem in WAS (WebSphere Application Server), following http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1PK54518. Applying the appropriate Fix Pack for your version of WAS resolved the issue.

Wellread

Answer 3

The problem is probably that you are trying to bind to a https service using http. I had this problem when eclipse generated the stubs for me from a wsdl that was hosted on a https server.

Edit the generated files by eclipse that points to the server URL and it should connect correctly.

Hope that helps.

Answer 4

In my case it got resolved after removing "/" from end of the URL in Axis (not Axis2)

The URL which I was using http://localhost:7000/myWS/
After changing it to http://localhost:7000/myWS worked fine!
