I have an error "WebService returned a SOAP Fault"

Question

i get an error when calling a webservice, i get the following error message

System.CalloutException: Web service callout failed: WebService returned a SOAP Fault: Fault occurred while processing. faultcode=soap:Server faultactor=

I could not find the entire error message due to a salesforce limitation, here is the code that cause the error:

WebServiceCallout.invoke(
              this,
              request_x,
              response_map_x,
              new String[]{endpoint_x,
              'http://ws.ciphercloud.com/dpaas/detokenize',
              'http://ws.ciphercloud.com/dpaas/',
              'detokenizeRequest',
              'http://ws.ciphercloud.com/dpaas/',
              'detokenizeResponse',
              'DpaaSSoapWebService.DetokenizeResponse'}
            ); 

do you have an idea why i am getting this error Or how to trace the entire error message ?

Answer 1

This is probably not the answer to the OP's problem, but gives a run down of how to go about trouble shooting the issue.

How to troubleshoot your problem

• First grab the request from your debug logs.

Should be noted here that the CALLOUT_RESPONSE is just below the request. That will have your particular error. I just prefer to put it into Postman for readability as well as being able to alter the request "on the fly" to help solve the problem with the request.

• Put that into Postman or equivalent app

• See the response error

In this particular issue I had to track back to the original wsdl and found out that the Type is an enumeration. Which a '' is not a valid value for. This probably won't be your particular issue. But I think this should get you going on how to find your issue.
