Apache CXF Exception: java.lang.RuntimeException: Could not find conduit initiator for address

Question

I want call a .net SOAP web service from java. .net Service has ws-security module and I used apache CXF for setting username and password (and maybe later X.509 certificate). The code I used is:

    ITaxOrganService wsHttpBindingITaxOrganService = new TaxOrganService().getWSHttpBindingITaxOrganService();
    Endpoint endpoint = ClientProxy.getClient(wsHttpBindingITaxOrganService).getEndpoint();

    Map<String,Object> outProps = new HashMap<>();
    outProps.put(WSHandlerConstants.ACTION,WSHandlerConstants.USERNAME_TOKEN);
    outProps.put(WSHandlerConstants.USER,"*****");
    outProps.put(WSHandlerConstants.PASSWORD_TYPE, WSConstants.PW_TEXT);
    outProps.put(WSHandlerConstants.PW_CALLBACK_CLASS, ShahrdariPasswordCallback.class.getName());

    WSS4JOutInterceptor wssOut = new WSS4JOutInterceptor(outProps);
    endpoint.getOutInterceptors().add(wssOut);
    PermissionPrintDS permissionPrintDS = wsHttpBindingITaxOrganService.providePermissionInfoByPermNo(10000198);

but java throw an exception on last line:

What can I do?

Have a look at this SO post, which discusses your problem. Since adding the transport JAR didn't fix your problem you can focus on the other suggestions – Nevil

Answer 1

I had the same issue in my java project.

Firstly I had only the following CXF dependency in my pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
    <artifactId>cxf-rt-frontend-jaxws</artifactId>
    <version>${cxf.version}</version>
</dependency>

Afterwards, I added the two CXF dependencies:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
    <artifactId>cxf-rt-transports-http</artifactId>
    <version>${cxf.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
    <artifactId>cxf-rt-transports-http-jetty</artifactId>
    <version>${cxf.version}</version>
</dependency>

The full pom.xml:

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

    <groupId>fr.atatorus</groupId>
    <artifactId>bookclient</artifactId>
    <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
    <properties>
        <cxf.version>2.2.3</cxf.version>
    </properties>
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
            <artifactId>cxf-rt-frontend-jaxws</artifactId>
            <version>${cxf.version}</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
            <artifactId>cxf-rt-transports-http</artifactId>
            <version>${cxf.version}</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
            <artifactId>cxf-rt-transports-http-jetty</artifactId>
            <version>${cxf.version}</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>junit</groupId>
            <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
            <version>4.8.1</version>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</project>

This configuration helped my project to work properly.

I've added only cxf-rt-transports-http, not cxf-rt-transports-http-jetty, and it helped anyway. Thanks! – Tetter

Answer 2

There might be a really trivial reason for this SOAPFaultException: Check your endpoint url. If it does not start with "http" or "https" (e.g. due to a space in front like " https://...."), then you get exactly this exception. In this case you only need to fix the url :).

E.g. adding a space " " in front like " https://..." gives: javax.xml.ws.soap.SOAPFaultException: Could not find conduit initiator for address: https://hostname/api/MyApi and transport: http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http

Note the somewhat hidden space in front of " https://...".

Answer 3

I have added only cxf-rt-transports-http for dependence in pom.xml resolved for me.
