Am testing a WCF service with a sample input in SOAPUI. when i hit the run,I get an SOAP Exception like below:

<s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:a="http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing">
   <s:Header>
     <a:Action s:mustUnderstand="1">http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing/fault</a:Action>
   </s:Header>
<s:Body>
 <s:Fault>
     <s:Code>
        <s:Value>s:Sender</s:Value>
        <s:Subcode>
           <s:Value>a:ActionMismatch</s:Value>
        </s:Subcode>
     </s:Code>
     <s:Reason>
        <s:Text xml:lang="en-US">The SOAP action specified on the message, '', does not match the HTTP SOAP Action, 'http://XXX.XX.XXXX/IXXXXXX/AddOrderInfromation'.</s:Text>
     </s:Reason>

        <a:ProblemHeaderQName>a:Action</a:ProblemHeaderQName>
     </s:Detail>
  </s:Fault>
 </s:Body>
</s:Envelope>

In blogs, they are asking to add Soap Action . How to Add Soap Action in my request below:

 <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:wkus="http://XXX.XX.XXXX/IXXXXXX">

Answer 1

This is probably a WS-A addressing issue.

In the WS-A tab of your Request, check "Enable WS-A addressing". You may also have to check "Add default was:To".

Answer 2

Your web service is returning a SOAPFault which is saying that web service expects a SOAP Action http header. In order to add a SOAP action in your SOAP request from SOAPUI you must add a http header named SOAPAction, to do so do the next step:

• In the bottom of your SOAP test request there are some tabs (Header(0), Attachments(0)...), open the Header(0) tab.Then using + add button, add a header with SOAPAction name and your value:

hope this helps,
