valid SOAP content-type?

[ankur rathi]

Hi,

While consuming another service, I get following exception:

    
javax.xml.rpc.soap.SOAPFaultException: Failed to receive message java.io.IOException:
Received a response from url: <a href="http://domain:8888/AService" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://domain:8888/AService</a> which did not have a valid SOAP content-type: text/html.

Why so? text/html is valid content-type.

Thanks.

SOAP responses are expected to be XML in a standard SOAP message format.

You may be getting the server's standard error message as formatted for browsers in HTML, indicating your request never got to the SOAP service.

If this was my problem I would use TCPMON to see exactly what is being sent back.

I downloaded TCPMon. But I am not getting anything in it.

My browser will connect to it (TCPMon) and it will connect to server which is running on my local machine.

So to add a monitor following are the parameters I give:

Local Port: 8080 (default)
Server Name: 127.0.0.1
Server Port: 7001

But when I hit a URL (i.e. http://localhost:7001/WSProject/index.jsp), I don't get anything in TCPMon.

Am I wrong somewhere?

Sorry. I will have to hit 8080 port (http://localhost:8080/WSProject/index.jsp) as this is the port TCPMon is listing to.

Thanks.
