WSWS3052E: Error: Bad envelope namespace

Technote (troubleshooting)   Problem(Abstract) The following invalid namespace exception could be thrown by WebSphere Application Server for an incoming SOAP message. org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Jdk14Logger debug interceptDeserializationException: WSWS3052E: Error: Bad envelope namespace: http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope WSWS3052E: Error: Bad envelope namespace: http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope at com.ibm.ws.webservices.engine.xmlsoap.builders.SOAPEnvelopeBuilder.start Element(SOAPEnvelopeBuilder.java:163) at com.ibm.ws.webservices.engine.events.P2DConverter.flush(P2DConverter.jav a:860) at com.ibm.ws.webservices.engine.events.P2DConverter.startElement(P2DConver ter.java:314) at com.ibm.xml.xlxp.api.sax.impl.SAX2ParserBase.startElementAction(SAX2Pars erBase.java:232) at com.ibm.xml.xlxp.api.was.WSXMLReader.startElementAction(WSXMLReader.java :139) at com.ibm.xml.xlxp.api.sax.impl.SAX2ParserBase.startElementEvent(SAX2Parse rBase.java:216) at com.ibm.xml.xlxp.api.was.WSXMLReader$WSScannerHelper.produceStartElement Event(WSXMLReader.java:370) Incoming SOAP message: [9/20/09 18:16:18:412 GMT] 00000042 MessageTrace 3 WSWS3570I: Inbound HTTP SOAP response: Content-Type: text/xml; charset="utf-8" Message contents: <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> <soapenv:Body>

Resolving the problem

The proper namespace for SOAP 1.1 is "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" Here is the message that the WebSphere Application Server Web Service Engine receives: [9/20/09 18:16:18:412 GMT] 00000042 MessageTrace 3 WSWS3570I: Inbound HTTP SOAP response: Content-Type: text/xml; charset="utf-8" Message contents: <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> <soapenv:Body> Note that the inbound message defines the namespace as: "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope" Note that the incoming namespace does not have the final slash "/"; thus it is not a valid SOAP namespace. The WebSphere Application Server is responding correctly to this invalid namespace. It needs to be determined why the node that sends this message is sending an incorrect namespace. Note that this is only one of the reasons why the above mentioned exception could occur.
