Application client SOAP request troubleshooting tips
Use this information to diagnose and troubleshoot problems with clients sending SOAP requests.
- Browse the application server logs. Look up any error or warning messages in the message
table.
View install_dir/server_name/SystemErr.log and SystemOut.log for clues. To learn more, see the viewing JVM logs information. For additional tips, see the Universal Discovery, Description, and Integration, Web service, and SOAP component troubleshooting tips information.
Note: This topic references one or more of the application server log files. As a recommended alternative, you can configure the server to use the High Performance Extensible Logging (HPEL) log and trace infrastructure instead of using SystemOut.log , SystemErr.log, trace.log, and activity.log files on distributed and IBM® i systems. You can also use HPEL in conjunction with your native z/OS® logging facilities. If you are using HPEL, you can access all of your log and trace information using the LogViewer command-line tool from your server profile bin directory. See the information about using HPEL to troubleshoot applications for more information on using HPEL.

SOAPException: faultCode=SOAP-ENV:Client; msg=Error opening socket; java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect
The most likely cause of this refused connection is that it was sent to the default port, 80, and an HTTP server is not installed or configured.
- Continue specifying port 9080 on SOAP requests.
- If an HTTP server is not installed, install one and the associated plug-in component.
- If an HTTP server is installed:
- Regenerate the HTTP plug-in configuration in the administrative console by clicking , and restarting the HTTP server.
- If the problem persists, view the HTTP server access and error logs, as well as the plugin_install_root/logs/web_server_name/http_plugin.log file for more information.

In an installed application, these files are located in the: install_dir/installedApps/application_name.ear/soapsec.war/key/ directory. After replacing these files, you must stop and restart the application.
In an installed application, these files are located in the: profile_root/installedApps/application_name.ear/soapsec.war/key/ directory.
After replacing these files, you must stop and restart the
application. The profile_root variable refers to the
profile_rootBase/profiles/profile_name
directory
- Expand the application_name.ear file.
- Expand the soapsec.war file.
- Replace the security key files in the key/ directory.
- After you replace these files, install the application and restart the server.
