Unrecognised SOAPAction header value

[Chris Mannion]

Hi all   I'm having problems calling a non-axis-based web-service from an axis-based client.  I've read around the mailing list and discovered that people sometimes have problems in the opposite situation, calling an axis web service from a non-axis-based client, because axis requires the presence of a SOAPAction header which some other clients don't include.  I'm wondering if the opposite could be true in my case, axis is sending the SOAPAction header but the web-service doesn't expect/can't deal with it?  I have tried using Call.setUseSOAPAction(false) on my call object but still recieve the same exception below.   AxisFault  faultCode: {http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/}Client  faultSubcode:  faultString: Server did not recognize the value of HTTP Header SOAPAction: .
