I'm sort of new myself to SOAP and web services, but from what I've read you may want to investigate the differences between SOAP 1.1 and SOAP 1.2 and double check the SOAP version that your .NET services expects. One change between 1.1 and 1.2 is how the action header stuff is handled. Axis 2 is probably doing the right thing given the SOAP version you're using.

I keep getting a response saying: System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Unable to handle request without a valid action parameter. Please supply a valid soap action. I enabled the wire.header logs and it is sending action in the Content-Type header, but it is not sending the SOAPAction header at all, not even as an empty string "". I have tried setting options.setAction and options.setProperty( org.apache.axis2.Constants.Configuration.DISABLE_SOAP_ACTION, org.apache.axis2.Constants.VALUE_FALSE); but that hasn't helped. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Chris Gunn Senior Programmer L-3 Communications
