soapAction="" why?
Hi,
In AXIS's generated WSDL files, I always get <wsdlsoap:operation soapAction="" /> in the bindings.
It causes troubles when I try to use the WSDL file from weblogic portal 4.0 for instance...
Why this ""? Is this a bug?
regards

well, not really a bug, its the way the SOAP spec is going. SoapAction was
meant to let things do a security check on what was allowed, and rapidly see
what method gets called, but it really duplicates what is in the body of the
message. For a security check to work you need to make sure that SoapAction
matches the real intent of the message, so you always need to parse the XML
anyway. The earlier SOAP toolkits do expect and use it, however.

Ok, so there's no bug at all in having an empty string in soapAction...
Many thanx for your answer!

Hi,
A SOAPAction value of "" means, that the intent of the request is provided
by the HTTP request URI. An empty value fpr SOAPAction means that the
intent is not specified ... In fact, AXIS ignores the SOAPAction header and
instead relies on this approach; the first child of the <Body> element and
its namespace.

I hope this will help.
