org.apache.axis2.AxisFault: Transport error: 501 E

Question

I am trying to call an Axis2 web service using a code like:

stub = new MyServiceStub("http://server/app/services/MyService");
stub.ping();

Stubs/skeletons are generated with codegen. I can interact correctly with the web service from other clients (even something low level written with SAAJ) but not from a stupid stub call.

I am getting the following error:

org.apache.axis2.AxisFault: Transport error: 501 Error: Not Implemented

Has someone encountered this and know the solution?

I need to configure the Stub somehow to call the web-service (I'm sure this is a configuration issue). The web-service is already deployed and runs for some time.

Thank you!

Answer 1

I just managed to fix this issue using details from the following article.

All I did was add the following code before the call:

stub._getServiceClient().getOptions()
        .setProperty(HTTPConstants.HTTP_PROTOCOL_VERSION, HTTPConstants.HEADER_PROTOCOL_10);

Thank you for your time!

Answer 2

Yes, I have try without Axis 2 and only with javax.xml.soap.SOAPConnection and was sucessfull:

connection.setRequestProperty(HTTPConstants.HTTP_PROTOCOL_VERSION, HTTPConstants.HEADER_PROTOCOL_10);
