org.springeframework.ws.soap.client.SoapFaultClientException in jBoss 7.1.1

Question

I'm creating a Spring webapplication (actually a portlet for Liferay), where I have to communicate with a webservice. Our webapplication runs on JBoss 7.1.1. I've done this before without much trouble, the only difference was that in that time the application ran on a Tomcat server.

I've tested the webservice with a soap plugin, and I can conclude that the webservice is running ok.

What did I do:

I created pojo files (DTO's?) from the provided .wsdl file, using maven-jaxb2-plugin. Those classes are generated well. Then I've defined my marshalling beans:

@Configuration
public class WebServiceConfiguration {


   @Bean
   public Jaxb2Marshaller persoonServiceMarshaller() {
       Jaxb2Marshaller m = new Jaxb2Marshaller();
       m.setMtomEnabled(true);
       m.setContextPath("services");
       return m;
   }

   @Bean
   public WebServiceTemplate persoonTemplate(Jaxb2Marshaller persoonServiceMarshaller) {
       WebServiceTemplate w = new WebServiceTemplate();
       w.setMarshaller(persoonServiceMarshaller);
       w.setUnmarshaller(persoonServiceMarshaller);

       w.setDefaultUri("my hardcoded webservice location URI...");
       return w;
   }

Then I wrote a method to test this thing out:

@Autowired
    WebServiceTemplate persoonTemplate;

    public int getPersonCount(String lastName, String firstName, int birthYear,
            int birthMonth, String postalCode) {
        System.out.println("Getting PersonCount");

        ZoekPersonen zp = new ObjectFactory().createZoekPersonen();
        PersoonZoekCriteria criteria = new ObjectFactory()
                .createPersoonZoekCriteria();
        if (lastName != null && !lastName.equals("")) {
            criteria.setNaam(new ObjectFactory().createPersoonDTONaam(lastName));
        }
        if (firstName != null && !firstName.equals("")) {
            criteria.setVoornaam(new ObjectFactory()
                    .createPersoonDTONaam(firstName));
        }
        if (birthYear != 0) {
            criteria.setGeboorteJaar(new ObjectFactory()
                    .createPersoonZoekCriteriaGeboorteJaar(birthYear));

        }
        if(birthYear != 0) {
            criteria.setGeboorteMaand(new ObjectFactory()
            .createPersoonZoekCriteriaGeboorteMaand(birthMonth));

        }
        if(postalCode != null && !postalCode.equals("")) {
            criteria.setPostCode(new ObjectFactory()
            .createPersoonZoekCriteriaPostCode(postalCode));
        }


        @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
        JAXBElement<ZoekPersonenResponse> jaxBResponse = (JAXBElement<ZoekPersonenResponse>) persoonTemplate
                .marshalSendAndReceive(new ObjectFactory()
                        .createZoekPersonen(zp));

        return jaxBResponse.getValue().getReturn().getGevondenPersonen()
                .getValue().getPersoonDTO().size();
    }

When I test this method, this Exception is thrown:

I'm clueless, I think It has something to do with JBoss, googled it, but did not find useful information.

FYI: My dependencies and Plugin from my Maven POM:

Spring WS version = 2.1.4-RELEASE Spring suite version = 3.2.4-RELEASE

Upgrading spring versions or JBoss version is sadly no option. This has to run in an existing production environment.

Hints and tips are very welcome!

Answer 1

Fixed this one on my own:

SoapFaultClientException: Exception is thrown by WebService! My request lacked some parameters that where obligated. Even altough the wsdl did not mention them as required.

==> The problem was not JBoss specific, what I first thought. (Sorry for shaming you Jboss, but I still do not like you ;-) ).
