SEVERE: SAAJ0008: Bad Response; Bad Request

Question

Hey Guys,
I am trying to send a SOAP request with attachments from java to a .NET webservice.
Here is the extract from my code..
DataSource source = new FileDataSource(file);
DataHandler handler = new DataHandler(source);
AttachmentPart attachment =
message.createAttachmentPart(handler);
attachment.setContentId("attached_text");
message.addAttachmentPart(attachment);
System.out.println("**************SOAP REQUEST**************\n");
message.writeTo(System.out);
SOAPMessage response =
connection.call(message, endpoint);
I get this error Any ideas ??

Hi runndn2
Thanks for your response, the two XML strings (from my code and SOAPui) were exactly the same....but I've actually found out what was wrong, just now :)
It took a while, because the error messages that I was getting back from we pretty unhelpful, but the problem seemed to be that I needed to specify a SOAPAction in the MIME header itself like so:
          // Create message
          MessageFactory mf = MessageFactory.newInstance();
          SOAPMessage msg = mf.createMessage();
          MimeHeaders hd = msg.getMimeHeaders();
     hd.addHeader("SOAPAction", "\"document/urn:crmondemand/ws/ecbs/contact/10/2004:ContactQueryPage\"");
With this header I can either read in the soap request from a file or build it up manually in my code, both work.
Simply looking at the output XML message as provided by SOAPMessage.writeTo() and comparing it to what I had in soapUI was no good because it doesn't write out the MimeHeaders.
thanks,
P.
