Hi Raju,

Check the following :

1) The webservice address mentioned in your SOAP adapter must match with your wsdl file

2) see whether you have mentioned the correct user / password for webservices in soap adapter or not.

3) check whether you have given the proxy settings of the webservices in the adapter or not.

4) If your webservices has used certificate then use the keystore value in your soap adapter.

Hope this helps you.

Thanks & Regards

Hi,

Quick checks-

1) Is your wsdl is valid one ...also make sure that mapped wsdl i.e xml after your mapping whcih goes to SOAP adapter is valid xml.. check out this.

2) did you give correct url for your webservice..i,e target URL in the SOAP receiver Adapter configuration.

3) Check out is the webservice working correctly..i.e is the webservice is available.

Hi,

Check if you have given a proper URL in the receiver SOAP adapter.

Ensure the URL is correct and also check if there need to be a proxy settings.

Thank you Moorthy and Prakash,

I did gave the correct url in the reciever adapter and I did specify the SOAP Action.

The wsdl is correct .

Is there any way to check whether the service is workin properly..

thank you

Hi Raju,

Did you check the same web service with any of the SOAP client. You can download the SOAP client from the SDN download section. Check if you were able to execute it properly there and getting the output. Then this would able to help you trace the problem.

hi Prakash,

I am unable to download the SOAP client. It is saying download error(unable to launch download). I am having the Java webstart 1.4.2_12.

I am trying to execute it with XMLSPy but i am getting an error:

Http error:could not post the file on server xxxx(500)

thank you

Hi,

Please try it to test your webservice. In few years this tool will be much better than xml SPY.

Hi,

Then the problem might be with the URL or the WSDL. Check if you are giving everything properly. Try checking some standard webservice and see if it is working fine.

Check once again you are giving everything right..

Hi Raju d

The soap fault you are getting is not because of improper URL.

First, Try to test your web service using XML spy or eclipse or any other WS test tool. I prefer to use WebService Studio 2.0 from Microsoft to test .net based web services as it offers good compatibility.

If the web service test works and still you get the error - ensure that you have the correct WSDL definition in XI. You can query your web service for the correct WSDL definition by using the param "?WSDL" after your web service endpoint. Just put this URL into your browser window and hit enter.

http://CTNHBIZTALK01/EngineeringSystemsService/Service.asmx?WSDL

Now Import the WSDL again in your XI external def.

The error you get is because of a malformed SOAP request. So you should recheck you adapter config params also. This document can help you further in this direction
