Invalid SOAP Content-Type

I have deployed an 11g SOA-BPEL process that invokes a an external Web Service exposed by Oracle/PeopleSoft. When I test the deployment, I am getting the following error messages:
*oracle.sysman.emSDK.webservices.wsdlapi.SoapTestException: javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: oracle.j2ee.ws.saaj.ContentTypeException: Not a valid SOAP Content-Type: text/html 
java.lang.Exception: oracle.sysman.emSDK.webservices.wsdlapi.SoapTestException: javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: oracle.j2ee.ws.saaj.ContentTypeException: Not a valid SOAP Content-Type: text/html*
What are the possibilities here?
TIA

I tested the Soap Template thru SoapUI. But, I do not have a message as it is created for calling the Web SEevice reference. The SOA deployment is barren of any info other than the error log.
Is there anywhere I can look to isolate the problem?

It would help if you could give us more details...
What type of soa webservices are we talking about here (JAX-RPC/BPEL/OSB)?
And how exactly are you testing your soa webservices in a browser (EM)?
A valid SOAP will have content-type: text/xml
You may be pointing to a invalid endpoint or you may have an authentication/authorisation problem, so you are receiving html instead of soap...

Not a valid SOAP Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1

Friends
JDEV and SOA suite 10134
I have multiple domains on my BPEL Server. In one of the domain since I deployed the new process, all the processes of that domain are now failing on execution with following error in opmn/soa_instance/*.err log files. No errors in domain.log
+"Caused by: java.security.PrivilegedActionException: oracle.j2ee.ws.saaj.ContentTypeException: Not a valid SOAP Content-Type: text/html; cha+
+rset=iso-8859-1"+
At the same time we get Internal Server Error on BPEL Console.
I have sync processes with 1 or two invokes, so I am generally losing the instances, cannot provide the details in the process execution. All BPEL processes are invoking Siebel Web Services, that is the common part.
When I restart my system, it may or may not work; even if it works then within few instances execution again starts giving the same error. I can see that after the errors the instance are going through and getting completed successfully few times. All these processes were working successfully earlier.
Any idea about this !!!!
Thanks

Thanks Anirudh,
I don't use compensation handlers. Moreover I have properly defined the scopes and sequences throughout the bpel process. My processes are sync in nature and I'm not able say at what step exactly the processes are failing and throwing the SOAP content Type error though the instances are getting completed with delay soemtimes.

Oracle.j2ee.ws.saaj.ContentTypeException:Not a valid SOAP Content-Type:text

Hi,
I m trying to invoke external webservice using Oracle BPEL. I create BPEL process to invoke the webservice.
BPEL process invokes the external webservice, retrieving the session id,etc. But, when the same webservice is invoked again using the session id throught the same BPEL process, BPEL process is throwing this fault error:

I am having a very similar problem. Did you end up solving this problem?

SAAJ0537: Invalid Content-Type. Could be an error message instead of a SOAP

Hi,
At present i am using JCAPS version 5.1.1
com.sun.xml.messaging.saaj.SOAPExceptionImpl: Invalid Content-
Type:text/html. Is this an error message instead of a SOAP response?
I got above error message while invoking the webservice.
My intention is to get HttpRequest from user and based on the input from user, a web service should be invoked. For this i am using BusinessProcess[einsight]
In my BusinessProcess, i have HttpServer processRequest service,
to receive HTTP requests and then i am passing the value of parameter received from http[As String] to next partner which is responsible for invoking a webservice.[Used a wsdl in client mode]
I am able to get http request successfully , but i got error while invoking web service.
Please let me know, what to do for rectifying error.

Although this is an aged topic, this is plaguing our development efforts currently. I have successfully created a webservice that can be executed externally using the generated wsdl but I am unable to get a JCD to execute the WS without getting the following error:

Is anybody else having this same error and how was it resolved? Both my client and server settings seems to be in sync. My only iffy piece is the servlet context. For both client and server external components, host, port, servlet context match. What am I missing??

** SOAP to SOAP call - HTTP 404 not found - invalid content type

Hi friends,
We have one scenario SOAP to SOAP call. It is synchronous interface. We are calling the WSDL.
For some of the messages (not all), we are getting the error in SXMB_MONI
com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: java.io.IOException: invalid content type for SOAP: TEXT/HTML; HTTP 404 Not Found
In the sender & receiver SOAP communication channel also, same error : SOAP: call failed: java.io.IOException: invalid content type for SOAP: TEXT/HTML; HTTP 404 Not Found
Friends, this error is not coming for all messages. For some of the messages it is coming. For example,
10:50 - Message Processed Successfully
10:54 - Message Processed Successfully
10:59 - Error
11:05 - Message Processed Successfully
By looking threads and blogs, I implemented MessagesTransformBean in the receiver CC and added the parameter Transform.ContentType as 'text/xml;charset=utf-8'.
After implementing this also, error is coming for some of the messages.
Can you kindly clarify friends, what could be the problem?
Kind regards,
Jegathees P.

I'm in agreement with Stefan...
If the problem is intermittent then the system is overloaded at certain times. You would probably need to do some JVM analysis to see the resource usage & look at increasing the memory.

Invalid content type for SOAP: TEXT/HTML; HTTP 500 Internal Server Error

I checked this blog: /people/shabarish.vijayakumar/blog/2008/01/08/troubleshooting--rfc-and-soap-scenarios-updated-on-20042009 Pt.6 applies to my situation, but the proposed solution doesn't solve the problem.

Hi Edmond,
We faced similar problem & found alternative.
Try out, if it works for u as well.
1) Use HTTP Adapter instead of SOAP.
Transport Protocol : HTTP 1.0
Message Protocol : XI Payload in HTTP Body
Adapter Engine : Integration Server
Addressing type : URL Address.
Target Host:
Service Number :
Path Prefix:
Authentication type : we hv used Ananymus login, as our login details in payload header.
Content Type : application/soap+xml;charset=UTF-8( this is IMP).
Header Fields.
Name         value
Host           target host
XI Payload Manipulation
XML Code : UTF-8
Hope, this helps...

SOAP adapter Using XI 3.0 error: invalid content type for SOAP: TEXT/HTML

Hi All,
I have the scenario to send a message to proxy via SOAP adapter . My PI server is 7.3 and my BI application server also 7.3. I have created service interface in the ESR and created the ABAP proxy in the Application server. Im using the receiver SOAP adapter with message protocol as XI 3.0. Am running this scenario in the central adapter engine. (That is i didnt create integrated configuration). I am facing the issue in the receiver SOAP channel as 'invalid content type for SOAP: TEXT/HTML: 401 Unauthorized'. But i can able to login into the URL which is given in the channel using the username and password used in the channel.
Can you please let me know if any addtional settings need to be done in PI side.
Regards,
Ramalakshmi.G

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. I have done my scenario with the integration configuration. Still i am facing the same issue " SOAP: TEXT/HTML; HTTP 401 Unauthorized". I have given the correct URL, username and password. Is this enough to connect to the receiver integration server from AE. Any settings need to be do in the receiver ABAP system and PI system. If so please share the corressponding note for the same. What should be the role is assigned to the userid given in the channel.
I have used sproxy to create the proxy in the receiver ABAP system. In PI i am using the SOAP adapter with XI 3.0 ,message protocol to call to this proxy. I have not done any settings in any of the servers. Do i need to do any settings.

Is there a solution for this problem?
I am getting the following error in one of my receiver SOAP adapters:
com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.DeliveryException: XIAdapterFramework:...:com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.DeliveryException: invalid content type for SOAP: TEXT/HTML
I have checked the message I am sending to the receiver adapter and it is XML, ok. After checking this thread: Re: Error in soap receiver adapter and SAP note 856597 I used the TCPGateway program to check what the web service is answering to the adapter request and I found the problem is due to an authentication failure. The TEXT/HTML is an error page the SAP WebAS that hosts the webservice is sending out as response saying no login method succeeded.
However... The webservice URL and basic authentication information, the user and password, are configured correctly. I double checked it and I can also run the webservice using that information directly with wsnavigator on that WebAS.
Checking the request message I found out that the root problem is that the adapter is not sending out a basic authentication request as configured. It is actually sending a header with SAP SSO2 (single signon) ticket instead.
The most strange thing is that I configured another channel exactly the same way and it sends a basic authentication header as it should and works correctly.
So as a workaround I am using this new channel instead of the problematic one but why is the original sending SSO2 tickets? It is configured exactly the same as other channels. I think that SAP SSO authentication is not even supported by XI SOAP channels!!!???
Thanks in advance for your kind responses.

Shabarish:
Thanks for the link, but the real issue is not the request message (regarding your blog) but that the reply from the webservice is the standard HTML page informing no login module succeeded because the adapter is deciding completely on its own that it should use SAP single signon ticket instead of basic authentication as configured.
Volker:
I have performed full and delta cache refreshes to see if the channel performs as configured in the ID but it doesn't. It insists in trying to use SSO2 ticket instead of basic authentication.
I am sure this is an ugly bug in the WEBAS Java, more so because an identically configured channel does use the basic authentication as it should. Anyone knows about a SAP note regarding this? I have performed many searches on the support service but haven't retrieved anything significant.
Thanks for your help guys!

Invalid content type for SOAP: TEXT/HTML

Hi guys,
Im trying to sending a message via sender soap adapter and Im receiving this error:
Exception caught by adapter framework: invalid content type for SOAP: TEXT/HTML
I already have read most off all posts about this error in this forum. So, if I understand, this error means that my receiver soap adapter cant reach the web service provider and an HTTP error notification is sent to calling application. Although, the SOAP adapter doesnt understand this kind of errors (ex. 404 not found -> SOAP call has no error codes and use the HTTP codes for effect) and this happening because the error is in text/html format and SOAP adapter is waiting a response in text/xml.
This is a simple calculator web service that receives two arguments and returns the sum as a result. (Like Siva Maranani weblog /people/siva.maranani/blog/2005/09/03/invoke-webservices-using-sapxi )
The web service is published on SAP Enterprise Portal and it works fine.
- The login works fine
 User: ex30268
 Pwd: 12345678
- We dont have certificates and proxy server.
This is the address in my receiver soap adapter: http://intranetcorpdev.edp.pt:54700/CalculatorWebService/Config1?style=document
I already checked the settings of my receiver soap adapter and did a little test, enabling the parameter Do Not Use SOAP Envelop only in receiver adapter. And the result is an exception during mapping!!! What is means this error?
Does anybody know how to solve this issue?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Ricardo.

Hi all,
Please forgive me for boring you again with this subject, but I havent yet solved this issue, I still receive the following message and Im getting quite worried
>>> Invalid content type for SOAP: TEXT/HTML
Im following Siva Maranani web log (Invoke Webservices using SAPXI) and I will describe the steps that I did:
Integration Repository:
 An Inbound synchronous Message Interface (CalculatorWS_IN_MI) using the message types in external definition (WSDL from web service hat I want to invoke).
 The other necessary data types (Calc_input_DT has 2 parameters>arg1 and arg2. and Calc_out_DT has 1 param> result) and corresponding Message types.
 An Outbound synchronous Message Interface (Calc_OUT_MI) using the message types defined in Integration Directory.
 2 Message mappings (request and response) and 1 Interface mapping.
Integration Directory:
 A scenario calls WebServices.
 2 business services (webservice and webservice_calc).
 A Receiver determination with webservice as a sender service (note: this sender is simulated from the WSNavigator from an Enterprise Portal that I have installed locally in my laptop) the interface is (Calc_OUT_MI).
 An Interface determination with webservice_calc as a receiver service and the corresponding mapping interface and SOAP receiver channel.
Configurations of SOAP receiver channel:
Target URL: http://intranetcorpdev.edp.pt:54700/CalculatorWebService/Config1?style=document
User: ex30268
Pwd: 12345678
I have picked only the parameters Use Encoded Headers and Use Query String activated. Im not using any kind of certificates or proxy servers.
A call tentative:

I think that I have tried everything and read almost of posts, web logs, SDN community contribution and the info in help.sap.com, but Im feeling unable to solve this kind of issue. Im afraid that I was missed something. So thats the reason to describe here all the steps that I have done.
I hope somebody knows how to solve this issue or give me something that can help me find the end of this road
Thanks for all.

HI Arivazhagan K,
Could you give some explanation about what you modified? according the to error message, this is "resource is not found issue".

Hi,
Check in SLD your integration engine business system have the following
pipeline url : http://server:httpport/sap/xi/engine?type=entry
check Http port also
After that go to TCODE - SXMB_ADM - integrationn engine configuration and check if your server is configured as HUB with the same url or not.
Thanks

Soap sender adapter show invalid content type

Hi dear mates,
I have a SOAP-JMS scenario working succesfully on 7.3.1. But in 30 min after ICM restart (usin SMICM) something wrong happend because all Soap sender adapter fails showing that error.
<text>com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: Could not parse XMBMessage due to invalid content type for SOAP: TEXT/HTML
If I restart manually ICM still working fine until next 30 min more or less.
I have added MP transform bean to ensure that I am sending UTF-8 propertly. But it doens't work.
Does anybody know a clue why occurs this strange behavior?
Thanks in advance and regards.
José Antonio.

Thanks Vladimir,
This is exactly the behavior. And yesterday we have to increase the memory because it has 32gb shared in two PI instances, 16gb(DEV) and 16gb(TEST). And the memory was always full.
Recently I found the trouble. Doing SLDCHECK have this trouble also. SLDCHECK error-Check and maintain the SLD content for the current client
So, I re-register once again the system in rz70 and review related Bussiness System. And BS pipeline URL was wrong :S because it hasn't be wrote with path /sap/xi/engine?type=entry.
After restart SLD I do sldcheck and it looks perfect.
Thanks to all.
I hope this stupid error do not disturb any other consultants.
Best Regards.
Jose.
