soap 1.1 response Content-Type is not handled as expected with soap 1.2 binding in camel-cxf endpoint

Solution Verified - Updated -

Environment

  • Red Hat JBoss Fuse
    • 6.1.0
  • Apache Camel
    • camel-cxf component
  • Apache CXF

Issue


    <camelcxf:cxfEndpoint id="test" 
        address="/testService" 
        wsdlURL="META-INF/test.wsdl"
        serviceName="v:getService" 
        endpointName="v:SOAP12Port"
        xmlns:v="http://redhat.com/test">
        <camelcxf:properties>
            <entry key="dataFormat" value="PAYLOAD" ></entry>
            <entry key="schema-validation-enabled" value="false" ></entry>
        </camelcxf:properties>
    </camelcxf:cxfEndpoint>
  • We have an endpoint that's exposed with soap 1.2 binding, serves 1.2 and 1.1 inbound soap requests, everything is fine. But, by default the soap response Content-Type we receive for soap 1.1 messages is application/soap+xml; charset=UTF-8 HTTP Header.
  • We expect that when a soap 1.1 request is sent, the returned Content-Type should be text/xml.

Resolution

  • When soap 1.2 binding is set in camel-cxf transport, the expectation is that it should serve for both soap 1.1 as well as 1.2 soap requests.

However, when soap 1.1 request is sent, the Content-Type returned in the response is application/soap+xml, which is not correct.
The expected soap response Content-type for soap 1.1 message with soap 1.2 binding set should still be text/xml.

  • This behaviour of camel-cxf transport differs from the pure CXF's JAX-WS frontend configuration, wherein, the Content-Type returned in response for soap 1.1 request is text/xml.

  • There is a bug report which is logged here, https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ENTESB-4461.
