no SOAPAction header

[ax666]

hi,

I had this with 4.0.1 already and thought 4.0.2 would behave different.

when calling a webservice from a VB client using MS SOAP toolkit jboss says "org.jboss.axis.AxisFault: no SOAPAction header". the thing is, you can't set a SOAP action header in MSSOAP. Of course there's a more complex way to access a WS from VB using HttpConnector,SoapSerializer,SoapReader,
but I prefer a direct method call.
Is there anything that can be done about it in jboss? Is it the original axis behavior or is it jboss specific? maybe it should be configurable?

it does work with MS SOAP toolkit 3.0, but still the question is if it could work with the older Version as well. Is it simply undefined behavior if the SOAPAction header isn't there?

Unfortunately it is required by the WS-I Basic Profile, so we have to error if it is not there. (See 4.7.25 Describing SOAPAction)

You have the sourcecode though, so if you must make it work the code is in AxisServlet.java.
