Title: How does Axis handle soapAction?

The attribute is "SOAPAction", not "header". The value specified in the attribute must be specified in the SOAPAction: HTTP header on the SOAP request message. It gives the SOAP server a hint on how to process the message.   ----- Original Message ----- From: Cory Wilkerson To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 01, 2003 3:07 PM Subject: RE: How does Axis handle soapAction? Wendy,   The attribute "header" of element "operation" in the soap namespace http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap:   A) Appears as an HTTP header B) I believe it's sole purpose is to assist the consuming framework in routing the incoming request to the appropriate "service".   Cory -----Original Message----- From: Wendy Smoak [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 01, 2003 1:23 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: How does Axis handle soapAction? I picked this up from the example that Richard Hansen posted on 7/30: <soap:operation soapAction="RatingPortType#getRate" style="document"/> However, the string "RatingPortType" does not appear anywhere else in the WSDL document.  And the examples in the http://www.w3.org/TR/wsdl.html document always have a URL in the soapAction element. I recognize the string after the # sign as the method to be called, but what does "RatingPortType" mean in this case? Should it possible match the portType name from this section?  <portType name="RatingServicePort">         <operation name="getRate">             <input message="tns:RatingRequest"/>             <output message="tns:RatingResponse"/>         </operation>     </portType> Thanks for your help, -- Wendy Smoak Applications Systems Analyst, Sr. Arizona State University, PA, IRM
