Spring Boot- Producing a SOAP web service that expects application/soap+xml content type

Question

I followed a tutorial Produce SOAP WS. I changed the DefaultWsdl11Definition under WebServiceConfig to generate soap12 binding for the service by adding:

wsdl11Definition.setCreateSoap12Binding(true); 

In my generated wsdl file, I can see that porting for Soap12 is generated. However when I send a message with custom header: Content-Type=application/soap+xml, I get exception:

com.sun.xml.internal.messaging.saaj.soap.SOAPVersionMismatchException: Cannot create message: incorrect content-type for SOAP version. Got: application/soap+xml Expected: text/xml

Can somebody help me so that my soap service( CountriesPortSoap12) can receive application/soap+xml type message? Thanks!

You need to configure Spring WS to use SOAP 1.2, as explained here:
