invoke web service with authentication headers in ode bpel - http-headers

I'm using eclipse bpel designer and trying to invoke a external service which requires authentication headers to be passed.
Here is what I have done
1. Created a headers.endpoint file with the following content
*alias.sample_ns="http://sample.com"
sample_ns.serviceName.portName.ode.http.default-headers.username=system
sample_ns.serviceName.portName.ode.http.default-headers.password=admin*
Placed it in ..\webapps\ode\WEB-INF\processes\$process folder
When I invoke the service I'm getting the following error
"Error sending message (mex={PartnerRoleMex#hqejbhcnphrckf492s9n9b [PID {http://createReservation}CreateReservation-1541] calling org.apache.ode.bpel.epr.WSAEndpoint#1e1f4b8.saveRecord(...) Status ASYNC}): Transport error: 401 Error: Unautho".
I think I need to add header information when invoking the service in BPEL process as well. But couldn't find the way to do it. How can it be done, if this is actually what I'm missing? Or is there something else to be done?
Thanks in advance

Note: HTTP Auth information cannot be set in the *.endpoint files.
For invoking HTTP Service
Testcase will show you how to do it

Add message part in WSDL as shown here

Assign credentials in Process

OSB - Is there a way to generate default errors for internal errors?

I have a validate action in the OSB request pipeline which raises an error if the request is not according the schema.
In the error handler, I remove the header info and add some required header info before replying with a failure. However the response I get is the request body and not the fault which is in $fault. Is there a way to have OSB generate a standard soapFault using the $fault variable instead of having to manually create the error response body?
I'm having the same issue with the general error handler defined for the business service and the pipeline error handler when internal errors are raised.
Additionally, Is there a best-practice on how this is usually done for normal services and in case of passthrough services?
thanks

Error on adding a service reference to use web-centric WCF service?

I am trying to follow a textbook learning how to create a web-sentric WCF service project. I created the service, and see the corresponding folder under Default Web Site on IIS. I can even browse the folder (localhost/EmployeeService/) and see the contents in the browser. Now I want to make a client, i.e. a simple Console application. When I am trying to add a Service Reference, after I enter the address, I get an error:
There was an error downloading 'http://localhost/EmployeeService/$metadata'.
The request failed with HTTP status 404: Not Found.
Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved: 'http://localhost/EmployeeService/'.
The remote server returned an unexpected response: (405) Method Not Allowed.
The remote server returned an error: (405) Method Not Allowed.
Could you please explain? I saw some questions about the same error, but could not find a solution for myself.
Thanks.
In order to invoke the service, you must point at the service file. Otherwise the web server doesn't know what you're trying to do.
Add the .svc file to your URL to do that, so http://localhost/EmployeeService/YourService.svc.
You can also have it fileless, see How can I host a WCF service without an SVC file in IIS.

Oracle application server HTTP error 401 authorization required axis2

I have a jsp application deployed on OAS server 10.1.2.0.2. The problem which I have is that only sometimes the application cannot invoked web service method. The error which I get is :
16:58:52,332 INFO HTTPSender:202 - Unable to sendViaPost to url[http://prodbus.farm.globul.bg:8000/BPACommunicationWS/BPACommunicationWS]

The problem is fixed after restart the OC4J instance. Also the allocation of the memory is growing a lot.
Does somebody know the reason of this? I used axis version 1.5.1.
Thanks in advance.
The problem was that I use axis2 for a web service with authorization in ClassOne and in ClassTwo I use axis2 without authoiztion and somehow when I make the authorization in ClassOne axis2 remember that there is a authorization and do it in ClassTwo.
I remove also the set preemptive flag and everything works fine.

WCF Server Error. The content type text/html of the response message does not match the content type of the binding

I've got a WCF Service, which calls a webservice, running on my development IIS server (IIS 7). I've added it as a service reference to a C# Website Project and it adds fine.
However, when I try to call any of the service contracts, I get the following error:
The content type text/html
of the response message does not match
the content type of the binding
(text/xml; charset=utf-8). If using a
custom encoder, be sure that the
IsContentTypeSupported method is
implemented properly. The first 1024
bytes of the response were:
'Blocked Web
Page
thanks in advance

The error message says it clearly: you're getting back an HTML page instead of your service response. Looking at the fragment of that page listed in the error message, you're probably not authroized to use that service.
Try to connect to the service URL in a browser - you should probably see a page explaining that you're not allowed to access the page. Most likely, this is a permissions issue.
You need to configure WCF Tracing and find out what's happening on the server side.

The remote server returned an error : 400 badrequest in WCF

In our project, we are calling the .svc file directly from asp.net web page and I receive the error "The remoter server returned an error:(400) bad request.
Our project architecture is, we are using .svc file in our web application and the .cs file for the svc in writter in another class library project. From aspx, we are calling the WCF service directly without adding reference or anything. I cannot change the concept, because it is our standard. I'm able to add service reference and call those methods, but I wanted to call the method directly from .svc url.
I'm pissed off for 2 days and could not resolve the error. We are using HttpWebRequest to get the response from the service. Basically, the service will take Data Transfer Object(DTO) as input and returns the same(DTO) as output with only one value.
Check the following code:
HttpStatusCode statusCode = HttpHelper.PostXmlRequestValue(requestXMLInput,
string.Format("http://{0}/{1}/MySample.svc/webhttp/MyMethodName",
Request.ServerVariable["HTTP_HOST"], Request.ApplicationPath);
The same code works in one machine but not in the other. I have checked the configuration and everything is same, but still I receive the same error.
When I use the .svc url in my machine, it works, but gives a message "Method not allowed". When I checked the same url in the working machine, I got the same message.. I believe there is some simple thing I'm missing out. I couldn't find, as I'm new to WCF.
When using HttpWebRequest the "Method not allowed" error is for example that you are sending a Http GET, when the service expects a Http POST.
HttpWebRequest is a REST based configuration, this limits the complexity of the DTO's that you can send.
