How to send raw SOAP request in Java?

Question

I need to send a raw SOAP request to server. My request looks like

POST http://10.76.243.43:8080/registry/services/xds-iti18 HTTP/1.1
Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate
Content-Type: application/soap+xml;charset=UTF-8
Content-Length: 6383
Host: 10.76.243.43:8080
Connection: Keep-Alive
User-Agent: Apache-HttpClient/4.1.1 (java 1.5)

</soap:Envelope>

It is standard raw request generated by SOAP UI (using wsdl of web service), so if I send it there I get HTTP code 200 and some normal response. I want to send it using Java, so I do the following

byte[] encoded = Files.readAllBytes(Paths.get("C:\\Users\\timofb\\Documents\\testtest.txt"));//file with my raw request
String soapXml = new String(encoded, StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
Socket socket = new Socket("10.76.243.43", 8080);
BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(
            new OutputStreamWriter(socket.getOutputStream(), "UTF8"));
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
            new InputStreamReader(socket.getInputStream()));
out.write(soapXml);
out.flush();
System.out.println("\n * Response");    
String line;
while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
     System.out.println(line);
}
in.close();

I get HTTP status 500 and SOAP message that Fault occurred while processing. Thanks.

Can you try like this: you need to replace the xmldata with yours:

   try {
        String xmldata = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?><soapenv:Envelopey> your reuest</soapenv:Envelope>";
        String hostname = "10.76.243.43";
        int port = 8080;
        InetAddress addr = InetAddress.getByName(hostname);
        Socket sock = new Socket(addr, port);

        //Send header
        String path = "registry/services/xds-iti18";
        BufferedWriter wr = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(sock.getOutputStream(), "UTF-8"));
        wr.write("POST "+path + " HTTP/1.1\r\n");
        wr.write("Host: "+hostname+":"+port+"\r\n");
        wr.write("Content-Length: "+ xmldata.length() + "\r\n");
        wr.write("Content-Type: application/soap+xml; charset=\"utf-8\"\r\n");
        wr.write("\r\n");            //Send data
        wr.write(xmldata);
        wr.flush();

        // Response
        BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(sock.getInputStream()));
        String line;
        while ((line = rd.readLine()) != null) {
          System.out.println("Response:"+line);
        }
} catch (Exception e) {
   e.printStackTrace();
}
