problem accessing web service: unexpected XML tag

843833Jun 11 2009 — edited Jun 13 2009
Hi,

I access a web service with SOAP 1.2 via HTTP 1.1. I used wsimport on the WSDL to generate the stubs (I only use Java 6).
The web service is a php-Script running on a web server (maybe delegates this in the background, I have no access nor intimate knowledge of the server). This script provides both the WSDL (via GET) and the service (via POST). When I use my generated client I always end up with the same exception:
Exception in thread "main" com.sun.xml.ws.streaming.XMLStreamReaderException: unexpected XML tag. expected: {http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope}Envelope but found: {http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/}definitions

The exception occurs in the line with the first use of a service method. Somehow the service seems to issue a GET rather than a POST and ends up requesting the WSDL file which generates parsing errors.

So the code looks something like this:
Service service = new Service();
ServicePort port = service.getServicePort();
port.soSomething(); // <- exception
The conversation is SSL encrypted so I can't look at the conversation in Wireshark or similar tools. Maybe there is a problem because the same URL is used for both WSDL and SOAP?
