使用Apache cxf的Dispatch API时，SOAP Action为空

Question

I am using Apache cxf for the the soap client. While firing the request, even though after setting the SOAPAction in the MIME header, it gets changed to ""(empty string). Kindly provide a solution to solve this case. Following is the code

public class TempEg {

public static void main(String[] args) throws SOAPException, IOException {

    String withOutAuthBody="<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv=\"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/\" xmlns:ns=\"http://www.webserviceX.NET/\"><soapenv:Body><ns:ConvertTemp><ns:Temperature>35</ns:Temperature><ns:FromUnit>degreeCelsius</ns:FromUnit><ns:ToUnit>degreeFahrenheit</ns:ToUnit></ns:ConvertTemp></soapenv:Body></soapenv:Envelope>";


    String wsdlURLWithOutAuth="http://www.webservicex.net/ConvertTemperature.asmx?wsdl";



    MessageFactory factory = MessageFactory.newInstance();
    System.out.println(wsdlURLWithOutAuth + "\n\n");

    QName serviceName = new QName("http://www.webserviceX.NET/","ConvertTemperature");
    QName portName = new QName("http://www.webserviceX.NET/","ConvertTemperatureSoap");

    Service service1 = Service.create(new URL(wsdlURLWithOutAuth),serviceName);

    InputStream is1 = new ByteArrayInputStream(withOutAuthBody.getBytes());
    SOAPMessage soapReq1 = factory.createMessage(null, is1);




    Dispatch<SOAPMessage> dispSOAPMsg1 = service1.createDispatch(portName,
         SOAPMessage.class, Mode.MESSAGE);



    MimeHeaders headers = soapReq1.getMimeHeaders();
    headers.addHeader("SOAPAction", "http://www.webserviceX.NET/ConvertTemp");



    System.out.println("Invoking server through Dispatch interface using SOAPMessage");


    SOAPMessage soapResp = dispSOAPMsg1.invoke(soapReq1);
    System.out.println("Response from server: " + soapResp.getSOAPBody().getTextContent());


}

}

This is the error I am getting after running the above code.

This is the SOAPAction I could see whiling capturing the request through fiddler.

SOAPAction: ""
