C# Consuming webservice

[bharadwajrv]

i'm consuming a Webservice (created in java) in .Net 2003 (in C#)... whenever i invoke the webmethod, i'm getting below error message

"Additional information: Client found response content type of 'text/html;
charset=ISO-8859-1', but expected 'text/xml'."

but when the same webservice is called from SOAPUI (an open source
application from www.soapui.org) or XMLSpy - it just works fine...

so i'm confused about this, any suggestions??

Cheers

Hmm that java webservices seems a little funny.
the text/html with charset spec I believe fits the standard, that the java rejects it seems incorrect.
Not sure if you can remove/edit the line in your code, but it might be possible to change the contenttype.
How do you call this method?

In .Net application i have created the Webreference and created the 'Request' and 'Response' object.... below the the code (i have changed Namespace, Request object name to make it easy to understand)

WebSrvc.MyWebservice_Service objWS = new WebSrvc.MyWebservice_Service();
 
WebSrvc.SubmitRequest objRequestData = new WebSrvc.SubmitRequest();
WebSrvc.submitResponse objResponse = new WebSrvc.submitResponse ();
 
string sRequestXML;
 
//Load the original XML
StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(txtXMLFile.Text.ToString());
sRequestXML = sr.ReadToEnd() ;
sr.Close();
 
 
//remove any 'return' and 'newline' characters
sRequestXML = sRequestXML.Replace ("\r", "");
sRequestXML = sRequestXML.Replace ("\n", "");
 
//Create the request object and fill in the XML data as string
objRequestData.strRequestData = sRequestXML;
 
 
//invoke the webmethod
objResponse = objWS.Function1(objRequestData);
 

Let me know if i'm doing anything wrong...
(project compiles well, but it is a runtime error )

Part of the HTTP protocol includes using a standard set of headers. In this case the "Content-Type", somewhere, someone is using microsoft's usage which would be the "Content-Type: text/html; charset..." which I believe fits the standards but I guess it wants JUST "Content-Type: text/html"
So, somewhere there has to be the call that goes out over the internet and somewhere it automatically inserts that line. If you can find where that happens (or where it validates that header line) you might be able to edit it.
