server error 500

[Asher Tarnopolski]

hi,

i'm trying to send a soap message to the following url:
http://europe.ipx.com/api/services/SmsApi50

as you see, the axis service there is alive and running.
i build a soap message and send it as a string with the following code:

 
URL url = new URL("http://europe.ipx.com/api/services/SmsApi50");
URLConnection uc = url.openConnection();
connection = (HttpURLConnection) uc;
connection.setDoOutput(true);
connection.setDoInput(true);
connection.setRequestMethod("POST");
connection.setRequestProperty("Connection", "Keep-Alive");
connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "text/xml;charset='utf-8'");
connection.setRequestProperty("SOAPAction", "\"\"");
int soapLength = data.length();
connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Length", "" + soapLength);
out = connection.getOutputStream();
Writer wout = new OutputStreamWriter(out, "UTF-8");
wout.write(data);
wout.flush();
in = connection.getInputStream();
int c;
while ((c = in.read()) != -1)
result.append((char) c )  ;
 

now, the line in = connection.getInputStream() throws an ioexception saying that the server returned 500. as i understood from the soap specs, the failure in soap also returns 500, but with the failed body. in this case
i get an exception, so this is probably not about a problem with soap... but
from other side the server is up...

any ideas?

thanks !
