    Problem: Unsupported content type: text/plain

    ngarrache

      Hello,

       

      We have a working EAR deployed on a JBoss EAP 5.1 and using Seam 2.2.2EAP5 and JBossWS 3.1.2.SP7.

       

      We implemented a Soap Client which doesn't work if the received response has the HTTP header: content-type: text/plain.

      If this header is not found or equal to text/xml the soap client works.

       

      Here is the top of the stack trace:

      Please, can you help me ?

       

      Please note, that we want to accept the text/plain type.

       

      Thanks,

       

      Nizar,

          Hi,

           

          I found the following in the source code of JBossWS 3.1.2.SP7 (MessageFactoryImpl.java)

           

          else if (isSoapContent(contentType) == false)
          {
               throw new SOAPException("Unsupported content type: " + contentType);
          }
          

           

          private boolean isSoapContent(ContentType type)
          {
               String baseType = type.getBaseType();
               return MimeConstants.TYPE_SOAP11.equalsIgnoreCase(baseType) || MimeConstants.TYPE_SOAP12.equalsIgnoreCase(baseType);
          }
          

           

          And in MimeConstants.java

           

          public static final String TYPE_TEXT_XML = "text/xml";
          public static final String TYPE_SOAP11 = TYPE_TEXT_XML;
          public static final String TYPE_SOAP12 = "application/soap+xml";
          

           

          So technically what I want to do is impossible

           

          Now I'm tryng to patch this classes until the partner update its server.

            Hi Nizar,

              When you receive a content type of "text/plain" it is indicitive of an error in the request sent by the web service client.

             

            There should be an error message in the http response. Can you capture that and provide the information? Capture can be achieved using a tool such as Wireshark or TCP/IP Monitor in Eclipse.

             

            Regards,

            Jeremy
