SOAP Action header does not get passed

[Srilekha Mudumbai]

Hello all, Please review my following code and let me know why SOAPAction header is = not sent to the destination. When I send a message, shouldn't the headers of = the soap message be sent as part of the HTTP header information?     try {       SOAPConnectionFactory scf =3D SOAPConnectionFactory.newInstance();       SOAPConnection connection =3D scf.createConnection();       MessageFactory msgFactory =3D MessageFactory.newInstance();       SOAPMessage msg =3D msgFactory.createMessage();       SOAPEnvelope envelope =3D msg.getSOAPPart().getEnvelope();       MimeHeaders headers =3D msg.getMimeHeaders();       headers.addHeader( "SOAPAction", "http://www.abc.com/blah");       SOAPBody body =3D envelope.getBody();       javax.xml.soap.SOAPBodyElement bodyElement =3D         body.addBodyElement(envelope.createName("GetGroup",           "", "http://www.abc.com/XServer")       );       // other elements population here...       msg.saveChanges();       URLEndpoint endpoint =3D new = URLEndpoint("http://localhost:8080/XServices/abc.asmx");       msg.writeTo(System.out);       SOAPMessage reply =3D connection.call(msg, endpoint);       // the call at the destination has a blank SOAPAction??       reply.writeTo(System.out);    } catch (......) {    } This is a very urgent situation. Any help or guidance is really = appreciated. Regards Sri
