SOAP Service could not be loaded: XMLProxy Error: The markup in the document following the root element must be well-formed

[Former Member]

Hello all,

In MII14.0, I'm trying to import a SAP PI WSDL into either a web service XI or a web service action block, both yielding the following error:

"SOAP Service could not be loaded: XMLProxy Error: The markup in the document following the root element must be well-formed"

Here are the steps I followed:

1. Upload the PI WSDL to MII as web content. (The service has not been published to a UDDI, so I had to upload the WSDL file to the web content section of MII.)

2. Using either the 'Web Service' or 'Web Service XI', I specify the MII URL path to the file uploaded in step 1.

3. After clicking next, I get the error above.

I can successfully view the WSDL in a browser and have imported it into SOAPUI without any issue.

Can anyone shed some light onto this?

Thanks,

Try the same URL in an xmlloader and trace the results - the error could indicate non-XML results (like a login screen).  If the URL you are using in the config dialog needs a proxy server it would likely work ok in a browser test, but MII needs the proxy settings in the system config settings.

Hello guys,

My apologies for not responding sooner, but I was able to figure the problem out on my own. I found I needed to use the web:// prefix when referencing the wsdl path in the action block. I suspect it was because of credential issues, and a html page rather than an xml one was being returned to the action block.

Thanks to both of you for your help.

Hello James,

    As Jeremy mentioned in the above reply, this error comes when the response is something other than a normal XML. May be you are getting a login-screen. Some wsdl's require credentials at design time too.

  Try passing in the credentials and then click on the NEXT button. It should work.
