I need help with calling a web service. I use org.springframework.ws.client to call WS, code looks like: 

Response response = (Response) getWebServiceTemplate().marshalSendAndReceive(
                "http://ip:port/DefaultRequestListener?workflow=WsdlCPF&soapAction=Import",
                request,
                new SoapActionCallback("http://ip:port/DefaultRequestListener?workflow=WsdlCPF&soapAction=Import"));

Also I can call WS and receive response using this link http://ip:port/DefaultRequestListener?workflow=WsdlCPF&soapAction=Import (it looks strange) using SOAP UP. It works fine.

After run code from IDE I receive next stack trace:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: Failed to execute CommandLineRunner

So the root problem is: Invalid Content-Type:text/html. Is this an error message instead of a SOAP response?

Could you recommend some workarounds to solve this problem? I am ready to get any additional info if need.

UPDATE As I understood the problem is in the next things:

In the request sent by client I have:

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
    <SOAP-ENV:Header/>
    <SOAP-ENV:Body>
        <ns3:request xmlns:ns3="http://mayacom/Generic/Ws">

but should have:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ws="http://mayacom/Generic/Ws">
    <soapenv:Header/>
    <soapenv:Body>
        <ws:request>

How do I set it up?

@Bean
public Jaxb2Marshaller marshaller() {
    Jaxb2Marshaller marshaller = new Jaxb2Marshaller();
    marshaller.setContextPath("com.mayacomp.feeder.Client");
    return marshaller;
}


@Bean
public ExternalChannelClient externalChannelClient(Jaxb2Marshaller marshaller) {
    ExternalChannelClient client = new ExternalChannelClient();
    client.setDefaultUri("http://ip:port/DefaultRequestListener?workflow=WsdlCPF&soapAction=Import");
    client.setMarshaller(marshaller);
    client.setUnmarshaller(marshaller);
    return client;
}

Your service returns wrong Content-Type HTTP header.

See you stack trace:

at org.springframework.ws.transport.AbstractWebServiceConnection.receive(AbstractWebServiceConnection.java:92)
at org.springframework.ws.client.core.WebServiceTemplate.doSendAndReceive(WebServiceTemplate.java:611)

That means response parsing, and com.sun.xml.internal.messaging.saaj.soap.MessageImpl.identifyContentType would like to deal only with type=text/xml or type=application/soap+xml.

    Can i somehow to let client works with content type: text/html in response? – May12 Nov 17 '15 at 16:34
  • Also i checked response in wireshare. Really there was `content-type: text/html` and information about exception like `General exception before validation step: java.lang.Exception: Error: No Root element in response!`. – May12 Nov 17 '15 at 16:41
  • I can't anderstand it, but when i sent soap request from Soap UI it works fine. – May12 Nov 17 '15 at 19:07
  • @Artem Bilan what was the solution, as i have same issue here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/68830582/invalid-content-typetext-html-soap-client – valik Aug 18 '21 at 11:01

Probable solutions to this problem

1) Check if your jars are present at given location or classpath

2) Your endpoint URL must be valid.

In my case there is an additional forward slash(/) in url

Example incorrect - http://localhost:8088//mockService (which is causing above issue)

correct - http://localhost:8088/mockService (check if it is working using Postman)
