"soap:operation" - SOAPAction Header Line

This section describes 'soap:operation', a SOAP extension element that specifies additional binding information at the operation level. soapAction='uri' is a required attribute for SOAP 1.1 over HTTP.

"soap:operation" is a SOAP extension element used as a sub element of the "wsdl:operation" element inside the "wsdl:binding" element. "soap:operation" is used to provide additional binding information at the operation level. The syntax of "soap:operation" looks like this:

<wsdl:definitions ...>
  <wsdl:binding ...>
    <wsdl:operation ...>
      <soap:operation soapAction="uri" style="rpc|document"/>
    </wsdl:operation>
  </wsdl:binding>
</wsdl:definitions>

Notes on the "soap:operation" element:

Here is an example of "soap:operation" element:

  <wsdl:binding name="helloBinding" type="hy:helloPortType">
    <soap:binding style="document"
      transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http"/>
    <wsdl:operation name="Hello">
      <soap:operation
        soapAction="https://www.herongyang.com/Service/Hello"/>
      ...
    </wsdl:operation>
  </wsdl:binding>
