Http message sent instead of soap message if soap action send called with uri instead of autowired soap client

[adhithyasrinivasan]

Citrus Version v2.7.8

Expected behavior Soap message should be sent

Actual behavior http message sent

Test case sample

Please, share the test case (as small as possible) which shows the issue

Actual behavior for

soap(action -> action.client("http://localhost:8080/services/WS")
				.send()
				.soapAction("getTodoList")
				.payload("<todo:getTodoListRequest xmlns:todo=\"http://citrusframework.org/samples/todolist\">\r\n" + 
						"</todo:getTodoListRequest>"));

Debug log:

08:57:40,387 DEBUG port.LoggingReporter| TEST STEP 2: send
08:57:40,422 DEBUG faultEndpointFactory| Found cached endpoint for uri 'http://localhost:8080/services/WS'

08:57:40,652 DEBUG    client.HttpClient| Sending HTTP message to: 'http://localhost:8080/services/WS'

Actual behavior for passing client:

@Autowired
private WebServiceClient todoSoapClient;

soap(action -> action.client(todoSoapClient)
				.send()
				.soapAction("getTodoList")
				.payload("<todo:getTodoListRequest xmlns:todo=\"http://citrusframework.org/samples/todolist\">\r\n" +

Hi!

Thx for reporting this! :+1: To reconstruct the described behavior, the Citrus-HTTP Module is required as a dependency. If the Citrus-HTTP Module is missing, a different error occurs which is as fatal as the original one but it indicates the root cause a little bit better, I think.

The output is the result of a modified soap-sample from the samples repository.
