AXIS2 Axis fault SOAPEnvelope must contain a body element

[Rodrigo Soto]

Hi all, I am developing a client that generates a soap messages and sends it to a public registry. When I create this messages it does not goes through and returns a Axisfault here is the stack trace:

  org.apache.axis2.AxisFault: SOAPEnvelope must contain a body element which is either first or second child element of the SOAPEnvelope.
	at org.apache.axis2.util.Utils.getInboundFaultFromMessageContext(Utils.java:512)
	at org.apache.axis2.description.OutInAxisOperationClient.handleResponse(OutInAxisOperation.java:370)

	at com.philips.xmpe.xds.documentsource.test.TestProducer.main(TestProducer.java:47)  

Here is the method that creates the soap message:

    
public boolean sendXDS(Document xdsDocument, File documentFile) {
		try{
			EndpointReference targetEPR = new EndpointReference(this.xdsSubmissionServer);

			TransformerFactory transfac = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
	        Transformer trans = transfac.newTransformer();
	        trans.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.OMIT_XML_DECLARATION, "no");
	        trans.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");

	        //create string from xml tree
	        StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
	        StreamResult result = new StreamResult(sw);
	        DOMSource source = new DOMSource(xdsDocument);
	        trans.transform(source, result);
	        String xmlString = sw.toString();
	        
			//StAXBuilder builder = new StAXOMBuilder(new ByteArrayInputStream(xmlString.getBytes()));
			StAXOMBuilder builder = new StAXOMBuilder(new ByteArrayInputStream(xmlString.getBytes()));
			
			//Adding Document File
			Iterator iter = builder.getDocumentElement().getChildrenWithLocalName("ProvideAndRegisterDocumentSetRequest");
			OMElement documentElement = (OMElement) iter.next();
			if(documentElement != null){
				FileDataSource dataSource = new FileDataSource(documentFile);
				DataHandler handler = new DataHandler(dataSource);
				//String file = handler.getContent().toString();
				//System.out.println(file);
				//String fileEncoded = Base64.encode(file.getBytes());
				
				OMFactory messageFactory = OMAbstractFactory.getOMFactory();
				OMElement documentChild = messageFactory.createOMElement(new QName("Document"));
				documentChild.addAttribute("id", "Document01", null);
				
				OMText textNode = messageFactory.createOMText(handler, true);
				documentChild.addChild(textNode);
				
				documentElement.insertSiblingAfter(documentChild);
				System.out.println();
			} else {
				throw new DocumentSourceException("Cannot attach File to document");
			}
			Options options = new Options();
			// specify sender options: target, transport protocol, and soap
			// action
			options.setTo(targetEPR);
			options.setTransportInProtocol(Constants.TRANSPORT_HTTP);
			options.setAction(this.xdsSubmissionServer);
			options.setSoapVersionURI(org.apache.axiom.soap.SOAP12Constants.SOAP_ENVELOPE_NAMESPACE_URI);
			
			ServiceClient sender = new ServiceClient();
			sender.setOptions(options);
			SOAPFactory fac = OMAbstractFactory.getSOAP12Factory();
			OMNamespace wsa = fac.createOMNamespace("http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing", "wsa");
			SOAPHeaderBlock header = fac.createSOAPHeaderBlock("Action", wsa);
		    header.setText("urn:ihe:iti:2007:ProvideAndRegisterDocumentSet-b");
			header.addAttribute("soapEnv:mustUnderstand", "1", null);
			sender.addHeader(header);
			//OMElement xmlElement = 
			
			sender.sendReceive(builder.getDocumentElement());
		}catch(Exception e){
			e.printStackTrace();
			return false;
		}
		return true;
	}

I thank you in advance.

Hi!
Apparently your SOAP message does not contain a SOAP body element or perhaps it is in the wrong place.
Try printing out the SOAP message before you send it to check that it is a valid SOAP message. The easiest way that I know is to apply a null XSLT transform with the destination being System.out.
Best wishes!

The SoapUI tool or TCPMON will let you examine exactly what is being sent.

Thank you for your prompt responses. I have used the TCPMon and this the soap messages does have a soapenv:Body, here it is the message

POST /axis2/services/helloAxis2 HTTP/1.1

I hope this helps to narrow the problem down. Thank you in advance.

Hi!
I am not entirely sure why you have problems, but after having checked the SOAP message, I discovered the following:
1. In the headerblock <wsa:Action>, the namespace prefix soapEnv is used, despite it not having been declared (only the namespace with the prefix soapenv is declared).

2. I ran the SOAP message through an XML validator. There are some values that should be wrapped in CDATA sections:

<rim:ValueList>
                                <rim:Value><![CDATA[PID-3|d7a5b2413e6343c^^^&1.3.6.1.4.1.21367.2005.3.7&ISO]]></rim:Value>
                                    <rim:Value>PID-5|Doe^John^^^</rim:Value>
                                    <rim:Value>PID-7|19560527</rim:Value>
                                    <rim:Value>PID-8|M</rim:Value>
                                    <rim:Value>PID-11|100 Main St^^Metropolis^I1^44130^USA</rim:Value>
                            </rim:ValueList>
                            
<rim:Slot name="sourcePatientId">
                            <rim:ValueList>
                                <rim:Value><![CDATA[d7a5b2413e6343c^^^&1.3.6.1.4.1.21367.2005.3.7&ISO]]></rim:Value>
                            </rim:ValueList>
                        </rim:Slot>

<rim:ExternalIdentifier id="ei0" registryObject="Document01" identificationScheme="urn:uuid:58a6f841-87b3-4a3e-92fd-a8ffeff98427" value="d7a5b2413e6343c^^^&1.3.6.1.4.1.21367.2005.3.7&ISO">

<rim:ExternalIdentifier id="ei2" registryObject="SubmissionSet01" identificationScheme="urn:uuid:6b5aea1a-874d-4603-a4bc-96a0a7b38446" value="SELF-5^^^&.3.6.1.4.1.21367.2005.3.7&ISO">

I inserted CDATA section in all but the last two. In the two last ones, the value of the value attribute causes validation problems.
Hope this helps!

Well the I dont know if the problem is really that because when I send the soap message to the server it tries to validate the message against some xsd but I do not have control over that. The problem is that the server is sending a fault message stating that there does not exist a WS-Action but it is there. I have been working on this problem and have not find any solution. Any other thoughts on how to solve this?
