How to test SOAPAction header with Spring WS Test - soap

Question

My app is calling an external Soap WS using spring-ws's WebServiceTemplate, which I mock in my tests using MockWebServiceServer.
It works fine to simulate the response depending on the request payload.
But now I'd like to test which SOAP action is called. It should be defined in the "SOAPAction" HTTP header of the request.
I'm using Spring-WS 2.1.4.
Does anyone know if it's possible to test that and how?
Here is my test class :
public class MyWebServiceTest {
#Autowired
private WebServiceTemplate webServiceTemplate;
private MockWebServiceServer mockServer;
#Before
public void createServer() throws Exception {
mockServer = MockWebServiceServer.createServer(webServiceTemplate);
}
#Test
public void callStambiaWithExistingFileShouldSuccess() throws IOException {
Resource requestPayload = new ClassPathResource("request-payload.xml");
Resource responseSoapEnvelope = new ClassPathResource("success-response-soap-envoloppe.xml");
mockServer.expect(payload(requestPayload)).andRespond(withSoapEnvelope(responseSoapEnvelope));
//init job
//myService call the webservice via WebServiceTemplate
myService.executeJob(job);
mockServer.verify();
//some asserts
}
}
So what I want to test is the soap action called. So I want something like this in my test class :
mockServer.expect(....withSoapAction("calledSoapAction")).andRespond(...

Creating your own RequestMatcher is pretty straightforward:
public class SoapActionMatcher implements RequestMatcher {
private final String expectedSoapAction;
public SoapActionMatcher(String expectedSoapAction) {
this.expectedSoapAction = SoapUtils.escapeAction(expectedSoapAction);
}
#Override
public void match(URI uri, WebServiceMessage request)
throws IOException, AssertionError {
assertThat(request, instanceOf(SoapMessage.class));
SoapMessage soapMessage = (SoapMessage) request;
assertThat(soapMessage.getSoapAction(), equalTo(expectedSoapAction));
}
}
Usage
mockServer.expect(connectionTo("http://server/"))
.andExpect(new SoapActionMatcher("calledSoapAction"))
.andRespond(withPayload(...)));
