Common mistakes to avoid in WSO2 ESB - 1 - "org.apache.axis2.AxisFault: The system cannot infer the transport information from the URL"

In the next few weeks, you could expect a series of blog posts from me which explain the remedies to avoid some common mistakes which we do when working with WSO2 ESB . This is the first of many. During the initial rounds of testing your integration solution or even in production systems, you may have come across the following error. org.apache.axis2.AxisFault: The system cannot infer the transport information from the URL .... Some of you may have struggled hours figuring out a solution to address this issue. Let me explain this error in detail and possible causes of this. So, next time when you see this error in your WSO2 ESB setup, you will not have to spend time unnecessarily googling everywhere. There can be many different causes of this error. I have observed  four main reasons. Cause 1 This is the simplest cause. Suppose, you have a proxy service similar to the following. <proxy xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse" name="MistakesTest&q

Working with HTTP multipart requests in soapUI

Image
You can use HTTP request test step in soapUI to submit messages with various Content-Types.  In this post, we will have a quick look into the multipart/form-data requests in soapUI. multipart/form-data requests usually come into action when you do HTML form submissions with file attachments. For example, have a look at the following HTML form post. <form action="http://localhost:8090/CKFileUploadApp/UploadServlet" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <input type="file" name="file"> <input type="text" name="paramName"> <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Upload File"> </form> In the forms like above, we have file upload option as a form input where we can upload a file along with the form submission. In that case, the request's HTTP content type will be multipart/form-data. How can we simulate such a request using soapUI

How to configure soapUI to send HTTP chunked encoded requests

Image
soapUI makes use of Apache HttpClient (based on HTTPComponents project) as the client side HTTP implementation. When submitting requests using soapUI, you may have noticed that, the requests always send Content-Length HTTP header. You can find it out in the Raw View of the request editor. POST http://localhost:9000/services/SimpleStockQuoteService HTTP/1.1 Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate Content-Type: text/xml;charset=UTF-8 SOAPAction: "urn:getQuote" User-Agent: Jakarta Commons-HttpClient/3.1 Host: localhost:9000 Content-Length: 416 In functional and non-functional testing, we usually need to test the servers by sending HTTP requests with both Content-Length as well as chunked transfer encoding. How can we configure soapUI to send chunked encoded requests instead of Content-Length? Step 1 Click on Global soapUI Preferences icon in the main tool bar (Or else, click on File --> Preferences) Step 2 HTTP Settings tab will be selected by default. You will notice
