Error in SOAP Receiver

[arunneerolil]

Hi All,

We are getting the following error with SOAP receiver adapter.

<SAP:Error>

<SAP:Category>XIAdapterFramework</SAP:Category>

<SAP:Code>MESSAGE.GENERAL</SAP:Code>

<SAP:AdditionalText>com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.DeliveryException: invalid content type for SOAP: TEXT/HTML</SAP:AdditionalText>

</SAP:Error>

Can anyone help.

Thanks in Advance

>>>com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.DeliveryException: invalid content type for SOAP

As the message says i guess your SOAP request is not what is expected by the Wenservice .. do recheck the same. Maybe you can test it idependently via XML Spy.

The response of the Webservice is not SOAP-XML, you recive an HTML document instead.

This can happen when:

- your URL is wrong. Test it with a web browser

- the user has not sufficient authority to use the web service.

- you need a proxy server in your SOAP adapter config.

Could be that your remote server is returning a normal http error response instead of SOAP, like server busy or something. Worth checking manually or routing through a proxy to debug etc.

Hi Chemmanz,

It looks like you're reaching the outbound binding (i.e. receiver SOAP adapter). Sometimes we get this error either when the target web service is down or is simply unreachable. Double check your Target URL and SOAP Action in the receiver SOAP adapter. Also, your SOAP action should not include quotes.

Also Check the SOAP Address Location in the ESDL file, if you are sending the message to a SOAP Adapter first.

For Ex: <soap:address xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/" location="http://<HostName>:port#/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?version=3.0%channel=:<SenderBS>:<SenderCC>"/>

Also go through the steps mentioned in this link, and cross check with what you have done and see if the error is still coming.
