Java – missing soapaction header when using CXF

I have a WSDL file from an external WS and I am connecting to it I'm trying to use CXF (with Jax - WS) But I got errors from other systems So I decided to take a look at the data we sent to the system. The only difference is that CXF sets an empty soapaction HTTP header

I did some reading and it seems that only known solutions point directly to WSDL But I have already done so

Anyone has a clue?

<bean id="object" class="xxx.XxxObject" factory-bean="objectFActory"
      factory-method="create"/>

<bean id="objectFActory" class="org.apache.cxf.jaxws.JaxWsProxyfactorybean">
    <property name="serviceClass" value="xxx.XxxObject"/>
    <property name="wsdlLocation" value="http://blebleble"/>
    <property name="address" value="http://blebleble"/>
    <property name="username" value="user"/>
    <property name="password" value="password"/>
    <property name="properties">
        <map>
            <entry key="javax.xml.ws.session.maintain" value-type="java.lang.Boolean" value="true"/>
        </map>
    </property>
</bean>

Head:

POST /somepath HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=UTF-8
Accept: */*
Authorization: Basic <randomhex>
SOAPAction: ""
User-Agent: Apache CXF 2.7.6
Cache-Control: no-cache
Pragma: no-cache
Host: somehost:8080
Connection: keep-alive
Content-Length: 2791

Solution

These are not unique to CXF It is all standard Jax - WS

You can use the action property of the @ webmethod annotation to set soap operations for example

@WebMethod(operationName = "TestOperation",action="http://example.org/TestOperation")

If you use wsimport to generate artifacts from WSDL, you should have set this setting in the annotated interface of @ WebService
