Jim,
In short, very little. We installed NetCat on the server, which is
running the current stable Debain. We then used NetCat to dump the
request sent to port 80. Since the client ran correctly outside the
firewall, we compared the dump when running the client inside and then
outside the firewall. This told us the firewall was stripping
SOAPAction from the http header.
We had to use NetCat instead of the tcpmon because the server is in a
DMZ with only ssh access.
Relative to the Apache and Mod_JK configuration, their is no difference
in the configuration for a webservice vs a jsp/servlet application.

So you found the problem and resolved it, but what did you do? I would like to
know as our customer uses the same configuration.

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
