Found the problem :)

The outbound firewall was stripping the http header SOAPAction, thus causing the error.

I am getting the error below when sending a request to my web service that is running on a Tomcat which is frontend by an Apache web server. I suspect this is a configuration error related to passing the HTTP header to Tomcat, but I am not sure what to look for.

Other tid-bits of information:
1) The wsdl is returned without error, i.e. http://foo.com/services/MyWebService?wsdl.

2) The same web service is deployed on Tomcat 5.5.9 without an Apache web server front end. It work correctly.

Version Information:
  Debian 2.2.6
  Apache v1.3.33
  mod_jk v1.2.5
  Tomcat v4.1.31
  Axis v1.3
