              "</SOAP:Envelope>";

             System.out.println(xmldata); 


              try{
                  //Create socket
                  String hostname = "www.xdel.biz";
                  int port = 80;
                  InetAddress  addr = InetAddress.getByName(hostname);                    
                  Socket sock = new Socket(addr, port);
                  System.out.println(sock.toString());                    

                  //Send header
                  String path = "/xws/plog.asmx";
                  BufferedWriter  wr = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(sock.getOutputStream(),"UTF-8"));
                  // You can use "UTF8" for compatibility with the Microsoft virtual machine.
                  wr.write("POST " + path + " HTTP/1.1\r\n");
                  wr.write("Host: www.xdel.biz\r\n");
                  wr.write("Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8\r\n");
                  wr.write("Content-Length: " + xmldata.length() + "\r\n");                   
                  wr.write("SOAPAction: \"http://www.xdel.biz/XWS/SubmitJob\" \r\n");
                  wr.write("\r\n");

                  //Send data
                  wr.write(xmldata);
                  wr.flush();

                  System.out.println("1");

                  // Response
                  BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(sock.getInputStream()));
                  String line;
                  while((line = rd.readLine()) != null){
                      System.out.println(line);
                  }

                } catch (Exception e) {
                  e.printStackTrace();
                }

when I run the code, I got error like this

HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Cache-Control: private
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8

I googled the error and tried to fix but no solution come out..

Answer 1

A good ideia would be to use an API that implements SOAP webservice and is already tested.

I used this
JAX-WS

400 Bad Request sometimes happens when you mismatch the protocol(SOAP or HTTP)
