What is the correct behaviour for gen'ing wsa:Action in the client when the HTTP 1.1 SOAPAction is set ( i.e. not "") and there is no wsaw:Action explicitly specified in the WSDL? The problem is that, the default action pattern for wsa:Action cannot be gauranteed to generate a wsa:action to match SOAPAction. Here is an example to illustrate: <binding name="StockQuoteSoapBinding" type="tns:StockQuotePortType"> <soap:binding style="document" transport=" http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http" /> <wsaw:UsingAddressing wsdl:required="true" /> <operation name="GetLastTradePrice"> <soap:operation soapAction="http://example.com/GetLastTradePrice" /> <input> <soap:body use="literal" /> </input> <output> <soap:body use="literal" /> </output> </operation> </binding> If we use the default action pattern to generate the wsa:Action, this is the result for the input operation http://example.com/StockQuotePortType/GetLastTradePriceInput As this is not the same as the SOAPAction, this will cause non-compliance. The WSDL in this case is implicitly inconsistent with the wsa spec - a problem which will occur in every existing WSDL 1.1 in which the values of SOAPAction have not been constructed according to the default action pattern. A possible solution is to set the wsa:Action header to SOAPAction (if SOAPAction =! "") in preference to using the default action pattern (if the wsa:Action is not specified explicitly). This would means a change something like this in the wsdl spec: 4.3 Default Action Pattern for WSDL 1.1 In the absence of the wsa:Action attribute.... ==>When using the SOAP 1.1 HTTP binding, if the SOAPAction is set, the action for inputs and outputs MUST be the same as this and the default action pattern is not used. <== thanks Katy
