Note that section "4.7.25 Describing SOAPAction" of the Basic Profile 1.1 requires that SOAP over HTTP requests contain this header: R2745 A HTTP request MESSAGE MUST contain a SOAPAction HTTP header field with a quoted empty string value, if in the corresponding WSDL description, the soapAction of soapbind:operation is either not present, or present with an empty string as its value.
Problem conclusion
The JAX-RPC runtime enforces the Basic Profile 1.1 R2745 rule (see above). A new JVM system property is added to allow customers to relax this rule. On the server where the web service is running, set the JVM property com.ibm.ws.webservices.allowNoSOAPActionHeader to true. See the Information Center article "Java virtual machine custom properties" for your operating system and version for more information about enabling JVM custom properties. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix packs 6.1.0.31 and 7.0.0.9.
