New to SOAP - How to create SOAP message for the SOAP described

Question

Hi Friends,
Im bit new to SOAP-JAVA interactions.
I have an SOAP describing
POST /abc/WebSrevices/MyService.asmx HTTP/1.1
Host: 127.0.0.1
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: length
SOAPAction: "http://tempuri.org/BillingAddressValidation"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Body>
<BillingAddressValidation xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">
<inXml>string</inXml>
</BillingAddressValidation>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
My question is How can I construct an equivalent JAVA message using SAAJ
I wrote like the following
public void performSOAPReadWrite(String transaction){
try{
SOAPConnectionFactory scf = SOAPConnectionFactory. newInstance();
SOAPConnection con = scf.createConnection();
MessageFactory mf =
MessageFactory.newInstance();
SOAPMessage msg = mf.createMessage();
SOAPPart sp = msg.getSOAPPart();
SOAPEnvelope envelope = sp.getEnvelope();
//Adding Content to the Header
envelope.getHeader().detachNode();
SOAPBody body = envelope.getBody();
SOAPElement billingAddressValidation =
body.addChildElement("BillingAddressValidation","http://tempuri.org/");
SOAPElement inXml =
billingAddressValidation.addChildElement("inXml");
inXml.addTextNode(transaction);
URL urlEndpoint = new URL(DEFAULT_SERVER);
// 127.0.0.1/abc/WebSrevices/MyService.asmx
System.out.println("Sending Message");
SOAPMessage reply = con.call(msg,
urlEndpoint);
System.out.println("Reply is "+reply);
}catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
// TODO: handle exception
Can any one let me know whats wrong in this ?
Thanx in advance
Im waiting for ur reply

Hi,
When im running the program I am getting a
javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: Failed to send message:java.io.IOException: The server at http://127.0.0.1/abc/WebSrevices/MyService.asmx returned a 500 error code ( Internal Server Error )
Please ensure that ur URL is correct and the Web service has deployed
This is web service is provided by .net team and im required to take the services of that web service to retrieve some information provided by that.
I can launch the webservice definition thru IE....their they have provide a text box with a Invoke button.
The same data that im sending thru code if invoked thru IE is working fine.
I suspect that the way Im construcint the SOP message is wrong.
Any help in finding out the correctness of the Message in the java code ?
Thanx
Mahesh
