soap - HTTP Error 400. The request has an invalid header name

Question

I am trying to request a web service using the below code

HttpURLConnection conn = null;
String operation = "validateAddress";
String urlStr = "http://.....";
String requestXML = "<soapenv:Envelope "
        + "xmlns:soapenv=\"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/\" "
        + "xmlns:v3=\"http://cio.att.com/commonheader/v3\" "
        + "xmlns:loc=\"http://ovalsgis.ebm.att.com/locationgeocoderservicerequest.xsd\">"
        + "<soapenv:Body>"
        + "<loc:validateGisAddressRequest "
        + "requestFlag=\"F\" "
        + "telcoFlag=\"N\">"
        + "<loc:FieldedAddressInfo>"
        + "    <loc:houseNumber>10</loc:houseNumber>   "
        + "    <loc:streetName>E MURPHY AVE</loc:streetName>  "
        + "    <loc:city>SAPULPA</loc:city>    "
        + "    <loc:state>OK</loc:state>    "
        + "    <loc:country>USA</loc:country>"
        + "</loc:FieldedAddressInfo>"
        + "</loc:validateGisAddressRequest>"
        + "</soapenv:Body>"
        + "</soapenv:Envelope>";

byte[] reqload = requestXML.getBytes();
URL server = new URL(urlStr.trim());
conn = (HttpURLConnection) server.openConnection();
conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
conn.setDoOutput(true);
conn.setDoInput(true);
conn.setUseCaches(false);
conn.setAllowUserInteraction(false);
conn.setRequestProperty("Username", "abcTest");
conn.setRequestProperty("Password", "abcPassword");
conn.setRequestProperty("WSS-Password Type", "PasswordText");
conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "text/xml");
String reqLen = Integer.toString(reqload.length);
conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Length", reqLen);
conn.setRequestProperty("SOAPAction", operation);
OutputStream os = conn.getOutputStream();
os.write(reqload);
os.flush();
logger.info("Received response Code (" + conn.getResponseCode() + ")");

But i am getting the following in response:

Bad Request - Invalid Header HTTP Error 400. The request has an invalid header name

Can anyone help me with this?

Your request could not be understood by the endpoint. Use SoapUI to test the service. And for the implementation you should use a SOAP library - explained here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15940234/how-to-do-a-soap-web-service-call-from-java-class — fateddy, Jan 04 '16 at 13:15
@fateddy Thanks for your reply. I forgot to mention it in the post that i have already tested it with SoapUI and it works well with it. I am trying with the above mentioned SAAJ library but unable to pass the authentication details.Can you please with help me with it? — nikita, Jan 04 '16 at 14:21
Could you please update your code (where you are using saaj)? And please post the wsdl as well. — fateddy, Jan 04 '16 at 17:30

You should use javax.xml.soap to make a SAOP request. Please have a look to the documentation.

Also, this answer might be helpful.

Updated code:

public class testWS {

public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception{
    HttpURLConnection conn = null;
    String operation = "validateGisAddress";
    String url = "http://.......";
    SOAPConnectionFactory soapConnectionFactory = SOAPConnectionFactory.newInstance();
    SOAPConnection soapConnection = soapConnectionFactory.createConnection();
    SOAPMessage soapResponse = soapConnection.call(createSOAPRequest(), url);
    printSOAPResponse(soapResponse);
    soapConnection.close();


}
private static SOAPMessage createSOAPRequest() throws Exception {
    String requestXML = "<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv=\"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/\" xmlns:v3=\"http://cio.att.com/commonheader/v3\" xmlns:loc=\"http://ovalsgis.ebm.att.com/locationgeocoderservicerequest.xsd\"><soapenv:Body><loc:validateGisAddressRequest requestFlag=\"F\" telcoFlag=\"N\" username=\"?\" altLocationPropertiesIndicator=\"?\" superScore=\"?\"><!--You have a CHOICE of the next 2 items at this level--><loc:FieldedAddressInfo><!--Optional:-->       <loc:houseNumber>10</loc:houseNumber>            <loc:streetName>E MURPHY AVE</loc:streetName>            <loc:city>SAPULPA</loc:city>            <loc:state>OK</loc:state>            <loc:country>USA</loc:country></loc:FieldedAddressInfo></loc:validateGisAddressRequest></soapenv:Body></soapenv:Envelope>";
    InputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream(requestXML.getBytes());
    SOAPMessage soapMessage = MessageFactory.newInstance().createMessage(null, is);
    String authorization = new sun.misc.BASE64Encoder().encode(("abcTest:abcPassword").getBytes());
    MimeHeaders hd = soapMessage.getMimeHeaders();
    hd.addHeader("Authorization", "Basic " + authorization);
    soapMessage.saveChanges();
    soapMessage.writeTo(System.out);

    return soapMessage;
}


private static void printSOAPResponse(SOAPMessage soapResponse) throws Exception {
    TransformerFactory transformerFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
    Transformer transformer = transformerFactory.newTransformer();
    Source sourceContent = soapResponse.getSOAPPart().getContent();
    System.out.print("\nResponse SOAP Message = ");
    StreamResult result = new StreamResult(System.out);
    transformer.transform(sourceContent, result);
}

}

you should edit your question rather than providing the update as an answer. could you please do that (and delete this answer)? and also please add the wsdl. — fateddy, Jan 05 '16 at 08:12
