It's working now. I was missing the "SOAPAction". Thanks to everyone who responded!

Please check if you are sending this header while posting your request. For testing your web services, if you are looking for a GUI based tool, you can have a look at the Webservice Studio 2.0 http://www.gotdotnet.com/Community/UserSamples/Details.aspx?SampleGuid=65a1d 4ea-0f7a-41bd-8494-e916ebc4159c This generates a form by inspecting the WSDL which can be used to send a request to the web service. You can also have a look at PushToTest TestMaker. http://www.pushtotest.com/ptt Warm regards, Abhinav Maheshwari -----Original Message----- From: Deppen, Jeff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 15, 2004 1:43 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Posting XML to AxisServlet Help! I'm trying to write an automated testing tool that will post Soap messages to the AxisServlet. When I attempt to post the XML directly to the AxisServlet, I receive an AxisFault with a faultString: "no SOAPAction header!" The soap call works fine when I use the AXIS client side libraries. It's when I try to post XML that it goes haywire. (I should note that I copied the XML from the server log when I ran the client-side library test - so it should be the exact XML the axis servlet is processing.) So, can anyone: 1. tell me if posting soap/xml requests directly to the AxisServlet should work 2. is the XML that shoes up in the AxisServlet (when using the axis client side libraries) the EXACT XML that the servlet receives? 3. does anyone have any recommendations for an open source web services tester? thanks! jeff
