[esb-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Assigned: (JBESB-2966) SOAPProxy does not ensure valid SOAP response comes back from proxied endpoint

SOAPProxy does not ensure valid SOAP response comes back from proxied endpoint ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: JBESB-2966 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBESB-2966 Project: JBoss ESB Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Affects Versions: 4.6 Reporter: Aaron Pestel Fix For: 4.x SOAPProxy delegates HTTP transport to HttpRouter, however, SOAPProxy does not check to make sure that the response from HttpRouter is valid SOAP. For example, if the wsdl points to an existing JBoss server, but bad URL (http://localhost:8080/a/bad/WS/url), then the message body after the SOAPProxy action will be HTML text basically saying there was a 404 error. If SOAPProxy were just an HTTP proxy, this may make sense, but giving that it's an abstraction layer higher, it seems this should generate an exception in the action. My expectation would be that after the SOAPProxy action finishes successfully, there should be a SOAP response or SOAP fault in the default body of the ESB message. If a non-SOAP response was returned, then I think an exception should be raised in the action chain. Now, I'm not real excited about the overhead of having to parse the response from the endpoint, but maybe we could at least check for HTTP 200 or check that the response starts with this or something: ------------------ <?xml version="1.0"?> <soap:Envelope ------------------ Basically, I'm trying to setup a demo where webservices are retried (if using JCA listener) or sent to DLQ. But without the SOAPProxy throwing an exception in error conditions, this requires writing an action to follow the SOAPProxy to check if the response was valid and then possibly throw an exception.
