APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Using the Assembly test tool and the built-in Validate Policy
  (set to validate against a WSDL) you always get a JSON response.
  In case of validation failure, the following is sent as a
  response instead of a SOAP error message.
  ---
  {
  "httpCode": "422",
  "httpMessage": "Unprocessable Entity",
  "moreInformation": "<Reason for the validation failure>"
  }
  ---
  This is because the assembly test tool always sends the accept
  header as 'application/json'.
  In order to get the proper SOAP message such as:
  ---
  <soapenv:Envelope
  xmlns:soapenv="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope">
   <soapenv:Body>
     <soapenv:Fault>
       <faultCode>soapenv:</faultCode>
       <faultString>Validate:
  https://<apim-host>/<org-name>/<catalog-name>/<serviceName>/<ope
  ration-name> : cvc-particle 3.1: in element
  {http://***/soap/envelope/}Body of type
  {http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/}Body, found
  </soapenv:Body> (in namespace
  http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/), but next item
  should be any of
  [{http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/}Fault,
  {http://bankA.sample.ibm.com/}getBalance,
  {http://bankA.sample.ibm.com/}getBalanceResponse]</faultString>
       <detail>
         <webapi:SOAPFaultInfo
  xmlns:webapi="http://www.ibm.com/apimanagement">
           <httpCode>422</httpCode>
           <httpMessage>Unprocessable Entity</httpMessage>
         </webapi:SOAPFaultInfo>
       </detail>
     </soapenv:Fault>
   </soapenv:Body>
  ---
  the accept header needs to be 'application/soap+xml'
