Description

When our users mistakenly send non-SOAP XML to our server embedding CXF, they get this unhelpful error:

No namespace on "{0}" element.

Where {0} is the root element.

The following would be better and give us less support headaches:

No namespace on "{0}" element. You must send a SOAP request.

Or a message to the effect that a SOAP request is expected instead of a low-level failure.

The message NO_NAMESPACE is defined in rt\bindings\soap\src\main\java\org\apache\cxf\binding\soap\interceptor\Messages.properties
