web service client

Server is returning soap fault with http status 400

SOAP UI is displaying nicely

When using cxf Java client I get strange, misleading message:
org.apache.cxf.interceptor.Fault: Could not send Message.

On server side I see everything is as expected soap fault is returned with bad request status code 400.
After little debugging I found this in org.apache.cxf.transport.http.HTTPConduit class:

// "org.apache.cxf.transport.process_fault_on_http_400" property should be set in case a 

// soap fault because of a HTTP 400 should be returned back to the client (SOAP 1.2 spec)

So before making a call configure client:

Client client = ClientProxy.getClient(port);
client.getBus().setProperty("org.apache.cxf.transport.process_fault_on_http_400", true);

After that I get expected exception:
Caused by: org.apache.cxf.binding.soap.SoapFault: some validation message


One more example of calling web service with Apache CXF - now within the same project I'm doing integration test with Spock and SpringBootTest.
HelloWorldWs is interface annotated with @WebService

def setup() {
    JaxWsProxyFactoryBean proxyFactory = new JaxWsProxyFactoryBean()
    proxyFactory.setServiceClass(HelloWorldWs)
    this.pismaUrl = "http://localhost:" + this.port + "/services/pisma"

    proxyFactory.setAddress(pismaUrl)
    this.client = (HelloWorldWs) proxyFactory.create()

    Client client = ClientProxy.getClient(this.client);
    client.getBus().setProperty("org.apache.cxf.transport.process_fault_on_http_400", true);
}

web service client example

//web service interface to be called
@WebService(targetNamespace = "http://services.crm.ticketing.samara.com", name = "ticketingServicePortTypes")
@XmlSeeAlso({ObjectFactory.class})
public interface TicketingServicePortTypes {

// web service client that was generated with wsdltojava
// This class was generated by Apache CXF 3.0.3
TicketingService extends javax.xml.ws.Service

Java client that calls TicketingService, using basic authentication with u/p.
final TicketingService service = new TicketingService(); // should be singleton
final TicketingServicePortTypes port = service.getTicketingServicePort();
javax.xml.ws.BindingProvider bp = (BindingProvider) port;
log.trace("username: " + username + ", password: " + password);
bp.getRequestContext().put(BindingProvider.USERNAME_PROPERTY, username);
bp.getRequestContext().put(BindingProvider.PASSWORD_PROPERTY, password);
bp.getRequestContext().put(BindingProvider.ENDPOINT_ADDRESS_PROPERTY, "http://10.105.100.127:8445/");
