[JAVA Spring SOAP WSDL]

Question

I try to connect to a Web Service using spring/soap/wsdl. I'm receiving a stack trace like this:

Exception in thread "main" org.springframework.ws.soap.SoapMessageCreationException: Could not create message from InputStream: Unable to create envelope from given source: ; nested exception is com.sun.xml.internal.messaging.saaj.SOAPExceptionImpl: Unable to create envelope from given source:

I've used this tutorial: https://spring.io/guides/gs/consuming-web-service/#initial to learn my self.

I found some info that I have something wrong with namespace ?

ps. sorry for my english

Answer 1

I had same problem and the cause was in line like this:

WebServiceTemplate template = new WebServiceTemplate(messageFactory());
...    
template.setDefaultUri("http://host:2121/portal/service?wsdl");

solution was to remove ?wsdl

Answer 2

I had the same problem. I don't know exactly what is causing this in your sources because you didn't add any specific informatcion, but I can tell it began giving this error in my project when I added fop to my pom:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.xmlgraphics</groupId>
        <artifactId>fop</artifactId>
        <version>1.1</version>
        <!-- some exclusions needed because of inexistent "avalon" packages in maven repositories -->
    </dependency>

It did happen with every version of fop I could find through maven.

I found a solution here. Apparently, the xalan and xerces included in fop needed to be upgraded.

I'm not happy with this solution, but it works. I left some exclusions I'm not sure are needed or could damage something else because a deadline is coming very fast (ha ha ha). I'll get into it later (or hope someone else can comment about them).

Here I add my pom fragment:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.xmlgraphics</groupId>
        <artifactId>fop</artifactId>
        <version>1.1</version>
        <exclusions>
            <!--

                as dependencies for fop 1.1 are not found 
                through maven:

                See: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-2151
