Why does this simple webservice (deployed to weblogic11g) receive this error: "wsa:MessageAddressingHeaderRequired"?

Problem: I've re-created and deployed this very simple jax-ws webservice (see below) many times. But, I've been unable to get this simple webservice app to work!

That is, when I submit the simple SOAP request (see "service request", below) I receive the following error: "wsa:MessageAddressingHeaderRequired"

QUESTION: What is causing this error: "wsa:MessageAddressingHeaderRequired"?

MORE INFORMATION, BELOW...

Here is the implementation class...

package aaa.bbb.ccc;

import ccc.bbb.aaa.testws.ObjectFactory;
import ccc.bbb.aaa.testws.ResponseType;
import javax.jws.WebService;

@WebService(serviceName = "testws", portName = "testwsSOAP", endpointInterface = "ccc.bbb.aaa.testws.Testws", targetNamespace = "http://aaa.bbb.ccc/testws/", wsdlLocation = "WEB-INF/wsdl/testws.wsdl")
public class testws
{
    public ccc.bbb.aaa.testws.ResponseType multiplyOperation(ccc.bbb.aaa.testws.RequestType request)
    {
        Integer value1 = new Integer(request.getParmValue1());
        Integer value2 = new Integer(request.getParmValue2());
        Integer product = value1 * value2;
        ObjectFactory factory = new ObjectFactory();
        ResponseType response = factory.createResponseType();
        response.setValue1(value1.toString());
        response.setValue2(value2.toString());
        response.setProduct(product.toString());
        return response;
    }
}

Solution

Your WSDL contains:

<wsaw:UsingAddressing wsdl:required="true" xmlns:wsaw="http://www.w3.org/2006/05/addressing/wsdl"/>

Note that the required attribute is set to true. But your test request doesn't contain any headers:

<env:Header />

I believe that the response's FaultDetail header is telling you which request header was required:

<ProblemHeaderQName>{http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing}Action</ProblemHeaderQName>
