spring-ws-test - IllegalArgumentException during request comparison

[MHajoha]

With com.sun.xml.messaging.saaj:saaj-impl:1.5.3 (which is included in spring-boot-starter-web-services:2.4.5), the comparison of expected and actual request throws an IllegalArgumentException for us:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot find SOAP wrapper for element [SOAP-ENV:Envelope: null]

	at com.sun.xml.messaging.saaj.soap.SOAPDocumentImpl.find(SOAPDocumentImpl.java:590)

This does not occur with saaj-impl:1.5.2.
I've created a relatively minimal test to reproduce the issue: https://github.com/MHajoha/spring-ws-test-bug-repro

[sephiroth-j]

changes between saaj-impl 1.5.2 and 1.5.3
eclipse-ee4j/metro-saaj@1.5.2...1.5.3

I think it is due to the new cloning behavior.

There are also notable differences with v1.5.2 and 1.5.3 in the type of test (the actual soap request) in DifferenceEngine.compare. With v1.5.2 it was of type DocumentImpl - the same type of control which is the expected soap request. With v1.5.3 it is of type SOAPPart1_1Impl.

Maybe it's time to switch to xmlunit 2?

[Kr0oked]

I ran into the exact same issue

[pchurzin]

same for me

[nicolasmafra]

Workaround:

		<dependency>
			<groupId>com.sun.xml.messaging.saaj</groupId>
			<artifactId>saaj-impl</artifactId>
			<version>1.5.2</version>
		</dependency>

[mlshnkv]

Is there a solution to this problem today other than using saaj-impl:jar:1.5.2

[gregturn]

I've patched this issue so things should run properly. It's currently working for Spring WS 4.0.1-SNAPSHOT, which is picked up by Spring Boot 3.0.2-SNAPSHOT.

Spring Boot 2.4 (as mentioned above) hasn't been supported since November 2021, so it won't be visible there. I'll investigate whether this is a candidate for backporting to Spring WS 3.1, which is supported by Spring Boot 2.7. (All version of Spring Boot before 2.7 are no longer supported).

[gregturn]

Backported to 3.1.x.

[sephiroth-j]

I am happy to confirm that the error is gone with Spring Boot 2.7.7, saaj-impl 1.5.3 and spring-ws 3.1.5-SNAPSHOT.

I'm still facing this issue using encryption, while i run it on Intellij it works correctly, but when i dockerize it, returns:

Your docker container is using spring-ws-core-3.1.4.jar not 3.1.5

I'm updating a Spring Boot 2.7 project to Spring Boot 3.1.2, and the issue was not present initially, but is there when updating Spring Boot

The thing is that it's not fixable by using saaj-impl 1.5.2 as it's not compatible with 3.X: the following stacktrace occurs if I patch it to use 1.5.2 (the SAAJMetaFactory class is absent from this old version)

I tried saaj-impl 3.0.2, 3.0.1 and 3.0.0 but the Cannot find SOAP wrapper for element issue is there everytime

[PhilippKemkes]

I'm updating a Spring Boot 2.7 project to Spring Boot 3.1.2, and the issue was not present initially, but is there when updating Spring Boot

I have exactly the same problem. Any ideas how to fix this issues?

saaj-impl 3.0.2
spring-boot-starter-web 3.1.2
spring-ws-test 4.0.5

[AntoineJT]

@PhilippKemkes Hey, I did have a fix now!

So, in fact, there are 2 possible fixes:

• the first one is to wait for the real fix to be integrated in spring-ws-test (see Fix forgotten import for XMLUnit2 upgrade #1370)
• the second one is to reproduce this fix by doing a workaround

To apply the temporary workaround, just follow these steps:

• Get the patch from this gist: https://gist.github.com/AntoineJT/8de3b08168803574b54cacfc5c425288
• Put it wherever you want in your project tests
• Replace all calls to ResponseMatchers.soapEnvelope by calls to PatchedSoapResponseMatchers.soapEnvelope (a search-and-replace in test files will do the thing, then add missing imports, and you're good to go)

Enjoy 😄
