Guzman Llambi­as [http://community.jboss.org/people/gllambi] created the discussion "MTOM interop issue with WCF" To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/560476#560476 -------------------------------------------------------------- Hi! I have a WCF client that wants to consume a JBossWS (Native) Service with MTOM, but when I run the client the following error occurs: *Root MIME part must contain non-zero length value for 'charset' parameter in Content-Type header.* According to [1] this error occurs because the WCF client is expecting to receive the +charset+ in the root MIME Content-Type header. The response message is this: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1 X-Powered-By: Servlet 2.5; JBoss-5.0/JBossWeb-2.1 Content-Type: multipart/related; type="application/xop+xml"; start="&lt;rootpart@ws.jboss.org&gt;";start-info="text/xml";boundary="----=_Part_3_27962205.1283538375093" Date: Fri, 03 Sep 2010 18:26:15 GMT Content-Length: 3982344 - =_Part_3_27962205.1283538375093 Content-Type: application/xop+xml; type="text/xml" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Content-ID: - =_Part_3_27962205.1283538375093 Content-Type: application/octet-stream Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary Content-Id: &amp;lt;content-dcab441-3b16-4348-863f-31585ce7bda0(a)ws.jboss.org&amp;gt; Binary content HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1 X-Powered-By: Servlet 2.5; JBoss-5.0/JBossWeb-2.1 Content-Type: multipart/related; type="application/xop+xml"; start="< mailto:rootpart@ws.jboss.org rootpart(a)ws.jboss.org&gt;&quot;; start-info="text/xml";        boundary="----=_Part_3_27962205.1283538375093" Date: Fri, 03 Sep 2010 18:26:15 GMT Content-Length: 3982344 ------=_Part_3_27962205.1283538375093 Content-Type: application/xop+xml; type="text/xml" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Content-ID: < mailto:rootpart@ws.jboss.org rootpart(a)ws.jboss.org&gt; <env:Envelope xmlns:env=' http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/ http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/'><env:Header></... xmlns:ns2=" http://sample/ http://sample/"><return><content><xop:Include xmlns:xop=" http://www.w3.org/2004/08/xop/include http://www.w3.org/2004/08/xop/include" href="cid: mailto:content-dcab441-3b16-4348-863f-31585ce7bda0@ws.jboss.org content-dcab441-3b16-4348-863f-31585ce7bda0@ws.jboss.org"/></content><date>2010-09-03T14:26:15.078-04:00</date><id>ID-12345</id></return></ns2:getFileResponse></env:Body></env:Envelope> ------=_Part_3_27962205.1283538375093 Content-Type: application/octet-stream Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary Content-Id: < mailto:content-dcab441-3b16-4348-863f-31585ce7bda0@ws.jboss.org content-dcab441-3b16-4348-863f-31585ce7bda0(a)ws.jboss.org&gt; If you look carefully, the MIME Root doesn't have the charset in the Content-Type header. Looking at [2], .NET says "+While XOP defines the+ *+charset+* +parameter for+ *+application/xop+xml+* +to be optional, it is needed for interoperability similar to the BP 1.1 requirement on the+ *+charset+* +parameter for the+ *+text/xml+* +media type.+" The BP 1.2 has a recommendation related to this: +R1018 A *SIMPLE_SOAP_MESSAGE* MUST indicate the correct character encoding, using the "charset" parameter.+ The following message works correctly and has the charset defined in the Content-Type header: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Content-Length: 3407478 Content-Type: multipart/related; type="application/xop+xml";start="<http://tempuri.org/0...
