I found a place where this error message originates. It is in function
called axis2_apache2_worker_process_request() (file
src/core/transport/http/server/apache2/apache2_worker.c), when it
tries to create a axutil_string_t from the soap action header. If the
header is not present (the apr_table_get() returns NULL), this NULL is
passed directly to the axutil_string_create() function that prints
then this error message in the apache error log and returns NULL.

I looked at the code to see how the value returned from the
axutil_string_create() here (variable soap_header) is used, it looks
like it is OK to have the value of this variable NULL: in all
subsequent actions, including in the functions
axis2_http_transport_utils_process_http_[*]_request() that the
soap_action is passed as a parameter to, there is a check present if
this value is NULL, and something sensible happens if it it so.

So I changed the code a bit to check if the apr_table_get() returns
here NULL before the axutil_string_create() is called. Then I build
the Axis2C again, and run the service and the client - this time there
are no such error messages in the Apache log file.

If anyone is interested, here is a patch:
