I have a partner which supplies a webservice to me.
I have added this webservice as default delivery exchange and set the authentication certificate.
When i deliver a soap message to their webservice i’m getting a negative response from their webserver.
When i call the same webservice using SoapUI with the same message i receive the expected answer.
I think their is a technical mismatch between Axway and their webserver (Apache). Maybe charachter-encoding related? I’m trying to solve the problems with the partner, but no luck so far.

Maybe someone recognize the returned response and give me directions?

The response of the webservice is:

CODE
HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error
Date: Fri, 13 Mar 2009 14:09:59 GMT
Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1
Content-Type: text/xml;charset=utf-8

Thanks in advance.
