Java client is not able to consume WCF service

Question

I have a WCF webservice which is being consumed by a WCF client and Java. The .net client is working fine but java client is not able to communicate and throwing the below error.

<s:Fault>
  <faultcode xmlns:a="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ws/2005/05/addressing/none" xmlns="">a:ActionNotSupported</faultcode>
  <faultstring xml:lang="en-US" xmlns="">The message with Action '' cannot be processed at the receiver, due to a ContractFilter mismatch at the EndpointDispatcher. This may be because of either a contract mismatch (mismatched Actions between sender and receiver) or a binding/security mismatch between the sender and the receiver.  Check that sender and receiver have the same contract and the same binding (including security requirements, e.g. Message, Transport, None).</faultstring>
</s:Fault>

I have captured both the requests but not able to figure out the actual issue.

This is request sent by .net client.

I am not familiar with Java so any help will be appreciated.

Answer 1

Your java client sends this http header:

SOAPAction=""

While .Net sends this one:

SOAPAction="http://tempuri.org/Test/IsPilotUser"

Force the java client to send the correct value.
