SOAP message MUST NOT contain a Document Type Declaration(DTD)

Question

I'm trying to understand ws-security signing and encryption. I've followed this guide. As mentioned I've Installed rampart, have created the relevant *.aar file successfully and deployed it in the tomcat servlet engine, added the org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider Bouncy Castle security provider (necessary for the public-key cryptography features used in the example code) to JVM security configuration (the lib/security/java.security file), added the Bouncy Castle JAR to both Axis2 installation's lib directory and Axis2 server application's WEB-INF/lib directory. (Which is the setup to run the given sample) But when running the example described, I am getting the following errors

How could I resolve this issue?

Answer 1

I had the same problem with a webservice that has always worked but yesterday. That problem went out because in the code we wait an xml response but it gave an html error page. So the DOCUMENT TYPE (html page) was not what we expected in the code. And all of this happened because the server moved away!

Sorry for answer so late, but I hope my answer will help another person in the future ^-^
