No SOAPAction in dynamic proxy client

Question

I am trying to consume a .NET Web service from a J2EE client. I am using a dynamic proxy client from http://java.sun.com/webservices/docs/1.3/tutorial/doc/JAXRPC5.html#wp79973
However, I am have a problem with the SOAPAction HTTP header. .NET requires this header element to be set but the proxy sends an empty SOAPAction header. What is the solution to this problem?

Answer 1

message.getHeaders().addHeader("SoapAction","http://some.action.here");
this piece of code is not working. This what i'm using.
my .net service is running at ""http://192.168.4.214/dmwebservice/service1.asmx";" and my method name is "disconnect_cabinet"
mesg.getMimeHeaders().addHeader("POST" , " /dmwebservice/service1.asmx HTTP/1.1");
mesg.getMimeHeaders().addHeader("HOST" , " http://192.168.4.214");
mesg.getMimeHeaders().addHeader("SOAPAction", " http://tempuri.org/disconnect_cabinet");
the request & response is:
