[GeoNetwork-devel] GN 2.7 trunks CSW - SOAP binding does not work

Dear Geonetwork developers,

I would like to ask you whether the last GN 2.7 trunk version’s CSW supports SOAP binding?
I have tried to bind my localhost GN 2.7 version with following request (provided also in devel manual here - http://geonetwork-opensource.org/manuals/trunk/developer/xml_services/csw_services.html
:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<env:Envelope xmlns:env=“http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope”>
env:Body
<csw:GetCapabilities xmlns:csw=“http://www.opengis.net/cat/csw/2.0.2
service=“CSW”>
<ows:AcceptVersions xmlns:ows=“http://www.opengis.net/ows”>
ows:Version2.0.2</ows:Version>
</ows:AcceptVersions>
<ows:AcceptFormats xmlns:ows=“http://www.opengis.net/ows”>
ows:OutputFormatapplication/xml</ows:OutputFormat>
</ows:AcceptFormats>
</csw:GetCapabilities>
</env:Body>
</env:Envelope>

ContentType: application/soap+xml
URL: http://localhost:8081/geonetwork/srv/eng/csw

GN 2.7 CSW answered with error saying:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<env:Envelope xmlns:env=“http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope”>
env:Body

</env:Code>
env:Reason

</env:Reason>
env:Detail


NullPointerException

</env:Detail>
</env:Fault>
</env:Body>
</env:Envelope>

I tried the same also with the stable GN 2.6 version CSW on my localhost and it works perfectly and gives back a proper answer.
I thought before that the problem is with the change of languages codes en2eng, since the harvesting management did not work neither.
Then I found the urlrewrite.xml configuration and harvesting is working now. However this does not apply for SOAP binding of CSW.

Does anybody know, where the problem might be and what should I do to fix it?

Thank you very much in advance for any answer,
Regards,
Tomas Kliment
