Question

I have a very frustrating problem. I have a web service created with JAX WS
annotations and Endpoint.publish(…) trick. Of course, it uses com.sun.net.HttpServer. When I try to add a service reference in Visual studio, it won’t budge. The server says:

unsupportent content-type: accepted only text/xml

But .net asks with application/soap+xml content-type.

How do i change the content-type in jax ws? Or, how do i change the content type of visual studio add reference thingy.

Thank you. It’s very frustrating!

After googling i found…

Hi,

I’ve resolved the problem.

‘application/soap+xml’ is the content
type used for SOAP 1.2 messages
whereas text/xml is used for SOAP 1.1.
Hence the client send SOAP 1.2
requests and service expects only SOAP
1.1.

Metro uses SOAP 1.1 by default. How to
enable SOAP 1.2 binding is explained

– https://metro.dev.java.net/1.4/docs/soap12.html

Reference. Hope this helps 🙂

EDIT: try the below annotations…

@WebService 
@BindingType(javax.xml.ws.soap.SOAPBinding.SOAP12HTTP_BINDING) 

OR

Endpoint endpoint = Endpoint.create("http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxws/2003/05/soap/bindings/HTTP/", impl); 
endpoint.publish("http://localhost:9080/PatientDiscovery");
