According to the SOAP 1.1 specification, the SOAPAction HTTP header field can be used to indicate the intent of a request. There are no restrictions on the format and a client MUST use this header field when sending a SOAP HTTP request.
The below example illustrates how a client can set the SOAPAction header and how a server endpoint can leverage the @SoapAction
annotation to receive the request using Spring-WS, Spring Boot, and Maven.
If you want to learn more about Spring WS – head on over to the Spring WS tutorials page.
General Project Setup
Tools used:
- Spring-WS 2.4
- Spring Boot 1.5
- Maven 3.5
The setup of the project is based on a previous Spring WS example in which we have swapped out the basic helloworld.wsdl for a more generic ticketagent.wsdl from the W3C WSDL 1.1 specification.
As the WSDL is missing a SOAPAction definition, we will add it in the context of this tutorial.
Note that Spring-WS will not automatically extract the SOAPAction value from the WSDL file, it needs to be programmed manually as we will see further below.

Apache Maven is used to build the project. As we will include some Spring-WS unit test cases to verify the example, we also add the spring-ws-test
dependency to the project POM file.

Client SoapActionCallback Setup
Spring WS by default sends an empty SOAPAction header. In order to set the value, we need to configure it on the WebServiceTemplate
by passing a WebServiceMessageCallback
which gives access to the message after it has been created, but before it is sent.
There is a dedicated SoapActionCallback
class which already implements a WebServiceMessageCallback
that sets the SOAPAction header. Just pass a new instance to the WebServiceTemplate
in order to set it up.
Alternatively you can implement your own WebServiceMessageCallback
class and set the SOAPAction on the SoapMessage
using the setSoapAction()
method.
package com.codenotfound.ws.client;
import java.math.BigInteger;
import java.util.List;
import javax.xml.bind.JAXBElement;
import org.example.ticketagent.ObjectFactory;
import org.example.ticketagent.TFlightsResponse;
import org.example.ticketagent.TListFlights;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;
import org.springframework.ws.client.core.WebServiceTemplate;
import org.springframework.ws.soap.client.core.SoapActionCallback;
@Component
public class TicketAgentClient {
@Autowired
private WebServiceTemplate webServiceTemplate;
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
public List<BigInteger> listFlights() {
ObjectFactory factory = new ObjectFactory();
TListFlights tListFlights = factory.createTListFlights();
JAXBElement<TListFlights> request = factory.createListFlightsRequest(tListFlights);
// use SoapActionCallback to add the SOAPAction
JAXBElement<TFlightsResponse> response =
(JAXBElement<TFlightsResponse>) webServiceTemplate.marshalSendAndReceive(request,
new SoapActionCallback("http://example.com/TicketAgent/listFlights"));
return response.getValue().getFlightNumber();
}
}
Endpoint @SoapAction Annotation
The endpoint mapping is responsible for mapping incoming messages to appropriate endpoints. The @SoapAction
annotation marks methods with a particular SOAP Action. Whenever a message comes in which has this SOAPAction header, the method will be invoked.
In this example instead of the @PayloadRoot
mapping, we will use @SoapAction
to trigger the listFlights()
method of our TicketAgentEndpoint
class. The annotation takes as value
the SOAPAction string.
The value of the SOAPAction header can be accessed within the endpoint logic by calling the getSoapAction()
method on the request SoapMessage
. Just add the MessageContext
as an input parameter in order to retrieve it.
package com.codenotfound.ws.endpoint;
import java.math.BigInteger;
import javax.xml.bind.JAXBElement;
import org.example.ticketagent.ObjectFactory;
import org.example.ticketagent.TFlightsResponse;
import org.example.ticketagent.TListFlights;
import org.slf4j.Logger;
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;
import org.springframework.ws.WebServiceMessage;
import org.springframework.ws.context.MessageContext;
import org.springframework.ws.server.endpoint.annotation.Endpoint;
import org.springframework.ws.server.endpoint.annotation.RequestPayload;
import org.springframework.ws.server.endpoint.annotation.ResponsePayload;
import org.springframework.ws.soap.SoapMessage;
import org.springframework.ws.soap.server.endpoint.annotation.SoapAction;
@Endpoint
public class TicketAgentEndpoint {
private static final Logger LOGGER = LoggerFactory.getLogger(TicketAgentEndpoint.class);
// map a message to this endpoint based on the SOAPAction
@SoapAction(value = "http://example.com/TicketAgent/listFlights")
@ResponsePayload
public JAXBElement<TFlightsResponse> listFlights(
@RequestPayload JAXBElement<TListFlights> request, MessageContext messageContext) {
// access the SOAPAction value
WebServiceMessage webServiceMessage = messageContext.getRequest();
SoapMessage soapMessage = (SoapMessage) webServiceMessage;
LOGGER.info("SOAPAction: '{}'", soapMessage.getSoapAction());
ObjectFactory factory = new ObjectFactory();
TFlightsResponse tFlightsResponse = factory.createTFlightsResponse();
tFlightsResponse.getFlightNumber().add(BigInteger.valueOf(101));
return factory.createListFlightsResponse(tFlightsResponse);
}
}
Testing the SOAPAction Header
Now that we have setup the SOAPAction in both client and server let’s write some unit test cases to test the correct working.
For the client, we will use a MockWebServiceServer
in combination with a custom SoapActionMatcher
in order to verify that the SOAPAction header has been set. Based on following Stack Overflow example we implement the RequestMatcher interface and assert that an expected SOAPAction is present.
package com.codenotfound.ws.client;
import static org.assertj.core.api.Assertions.assertThat;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.URI;
import org.springframework.ws.WebServiceMessage;
import org.springframework.ws.soap.SoapMessage;
import org.springframework.ws.soap.support.SoapUtils;
import org.springframework.ws.test.client.RequestMatcher;
public class SoapActionMatcher implements RequestMatcher {
private final String expectedSoapAction;
public SoapActionMatcher(String expectedSoapAction) {
this.expectedSoapAction = SoapUtils.escapeAction(expectedSoapAction);
}
@Override
public void match(URI uri, WebServiceMessage webServiceMessage)
throws IOException, AssertionError {
assertThat(webServiceMessage).isInstanceOf(SoapMessage.class);
SoapMessage soapMessage = (SoapMessage) webServiceMessage;
assertThat(soapMessage.getSoapAction()).isEqualTo(expectedSoapAction);
}
}
In the test case, we add the SoapActionMatcher
as expected match to the MockWebServiceServer
and check the result by calling the verify()
method.
package com.codenotfound.ws.client;
import static org.assertj.core.api.Assertions.assertThat;
import static org.springframework.ws.test.client.RequestMatchers.payload;
import static org.springframework.ws.test.client.ResponseCreators.withPayload;
import java.math.BigInteger;
import java.util.List;
import javax.xml.transform.Source;
import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.boot.test.context.SpringBootTest;
import org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringRunner;
import org.springframework.ws.client.core.WebServiceTemplate;
import org.springframework.ws.test.client.MockWebServiceServer;
import org.springframework.xml.transform.StringSource;
@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
@SpringBootTest
public class TicketAgentClientTest {
@Autowired
private TicketAgentClient ticketAgentClient;
@Autowired
private WebServiceTemplate webServiceTemplate;
private MockWebServiceServer mockWebServiceServer;
@Before
public void createServer() {
mockWebServiceServer = MockWebServiceServer.createServer(webServiceTemplate);
}
@Test
public void testListFlights() {
Source requestPayload =
new StringSource("<ns3:listFlightsRequest xmlns:ns3=/"http://example.org/TicketAgent.xsd/">"
+ "</ns3:listFlightsRequest>");
Source responsePayload =
new StringSource("<v1:listFlightsResponse xmlns:v1=/"http://example.org/TicketAgent.xsd/">"
+ "<flightNumber>101</flightNumber>" + "</v1:listFlightsResponse>");
// check if the SOAPAction is present using the custom matcher
mockWebServiceServer.expect(new SoapActionMatcher("http://example.com/TicketAgent/listFlights"))
.andExpect(payload(requestPayload)).andRespond(withPayload(responsePayload));
List<BigInteger> flights = ticketAgentClient.listFlights();
assertThat(flights.get(0)).isEqualTo(BigInteger.valueOf(101));
mockWebServiceServer.verify();
}
}
The endpoint setup is tested by first creating a custom SoapActionCreator
which implements the RequestCreator interface. This is done to provide a WebServiceMessage
on which the SOAPAction has been set as this is not the case with the default request creators.
Simply create the message using the supplied XML Source
and then set the SOAPAction using the setSoapAction()
method.
package com.codenotfound.ws.endpoint;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.xml.transform.Source;
import org.springframework.ws.WebServiceMessage;
import org.springframework.ws.WebServiceMessageFactory;
import org.springframework.ws.soap.SoapMessage;
import org.springframework.ws.test.server.RequestCreator;
import org.springframework.ws.test.support.creator.PayloadMessageCreator;
public class SoapActionCreator implements RequestCreator {
private final Source payload;
private final String soapAction;
public SoapActionCreator(Source payload, String soapAction) {
this.payload = payload;
this.soapAction = soapAction;
}
@Override
public WebServiceMessage createRequest(WebServiceMessageFactory webServiceMessageFactory)
throws IOException {
WebServiceMessage webServiceMessage =
new PayloadMessageCreator(payload).createMessage(webServiceMessageFactory);
SoapMessage soapMessage = (SoapMessage) webServiceMessage;
soapMessage.setSoapAction(soapAction);
return webServiceMessage;
}
}
The test calls the sendRequest()
of the MockWebServiceClient
with the custom SoapActionCreator
which results in a request message for the endpoint to consume. If the correct SOAPAction is present the request is mapped to the endpoint and a response is returned.
package com.codenotfound.ws.endpoint;
import static org.springframework.ws.test.server.ResponseMatchers.payload;
import javax.xml.transform.Source;
import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.boot.test.context.SpringBootTest;
import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringRunner;
import org.springframework.ws.test.server.MockWebServiceClient;
import org.springframework.xml.transform.StringSource;
@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
@SpringBootTest
public class TicketAgentEndpointTest {
@Autowired
private ApplicationContext applicationContext;
private MockWebServiceClient mockClient;
@Before
public void createClient() {
mockClient = MockWebServiceClient.createClient(applicationContext);
}
@Test
public void testListFlights() {
Source requestPayload =
new StringSource("<ns3:listFlightsRequest xmlns:ns3=/"http://example.org/TicketAgent.xsd/">"
+ "</ns3:listFlightsRequest>");
Source responsePayload =
new StringSource("<v1:listFlightsResponse xmlns:v1=/"http://example.org/TicketAgent.xsd/">"
+ "<flightNumber>101</flightNumber>" + "</v1:listFlightsResponse>");
mockClient
.sendRequest(
new SoapActionCreator(requestPayload, "http://example.com/TicketAgent/listFlights"))
.andExpect(payload(responsePayload));
}
}
Run the test cases by calling below Maven command.
mvn test
The result should be a successful run as shown below. Note that a log statement with the SOAPAction value is created by the endpoint.
