Re: Setting HTTP header prevents SOAPAction header being set

[lrxw <lr...@posteo.de>]

I deployed the service on a full blown Websphere Application Server 
8.5.5 (which uses no CXF) and on a Tomcat with a newer version of CXF 
(3.0.7) and it worked on both servers. So I think the problem is in CXF 
2.6.2.

greetings
