Question

I’m hosting a WCF Web Service with the following WSDL (a simple service using wsHttpBinding and SSL for transport security):

<wsdl:definitions xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" xmlns:wsx="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/09/mex" xmlns:wsa10="http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing" xmlns:tns="http://tempuri.org/" xmlns:soap12="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap12/" xmlns:wsu="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-utility-1.0.xsd" xmlns:wsp="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/09/policy" xmlns:wsap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/08/addressing/policy" xmlns:msc="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ws/2005/12/wsdl/contract" xmlns:wsa="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/08/addressing" xmlns:wsam="http://www.w3.org/2007/05/addressing/metadata" xmlns:wsaw="http://www.w3.org/2006/05/addressing/wsdl" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" name="MagicEightBallService" targetNamespace="http://tempuri.org/">

</wsdl:definitions>

Why do I get errors when I try to consume this from Java? When I try to consume it using Axis2/Java, I get the error:

org.apache.axis2.AxisFault: Must Understand check failed for header http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing : Action

And when I try to use JAX-WS, I get the error:

javax.xml.ws.soap.SOAPFaultException: MustUnderstand headers:[{http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing}Action] are not understood

So far I haven’t had any success with either of these, and I’m not sure whether a fix needs to be applied to the server or the client.

(See a related question I posted for more details, including the WCF Web.config).

Answer 1

Running:

ServiceClient sc = stub._getServiceClient();
sc.engageModule("addressing");

engages the Addressing module, fixing this issue.
