AXIS and DOM exception

[Stephen Campbell]

I have implemented a web service (consumer) with AXIS 1.3, running on WAS 5.1.

If everything goes right, the WS works, If I get an error condition though, SAX throws a exception

What I send is this (names in capitals are dummy)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<soapenv:Header>
<ns1:Security xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2002/04/secext" soapenv:actor="" soapenv:mustUnderstand="0" xmlns:ns1="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2002/04/secext">
<ns1:BinarySecurityToken>A VALID BST (Checked via another method)</ns1:BinarySecurityToken>
</ns1:Security>
</soapenv:Header>
<soapenv:Body>
<WS_SRVC xmlns="http://www.MY DUMMY DOMAIN/XML/Schema">
<context>
<ID>DUMMY ID</ID>
</context>
<QUERY_ID>
<MY_TYPE>
<ID>DUMMY ID</ID>
<ANOTHER_ID>DUMMY ID</ANOTHER_ID>
<service_called>Y</service_called>
</MY_TYPE>
</QUERY_ID>
</WS_SRVC>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>


the (non-working) response I get is below. The whole enchilada comes apart in the AXIS DeserializationContext.Parse method; the call to parser.parse throws a SAX exception


faultString: org.w3c.dom.DOMException: WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR: A node is used in a different document than the one that created it.

The actual SOAP message returned is this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<soapenv:Fault>
<faultcode>soapenv:Sender</faultcode>
<faultstring>Could not locate environment for object id.</faultstring>
<detail>A service was requested for a supplied DUMMY ID. This customer does not exist.</detail>
</soapenv:Fault>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>


The problematic code is

/**
* Create a parser and parse the inputSource
*/
public void parse() throws SAXException
{
if (inputSource != null) {
SAXParser parser = XMLUtils.getSAXParser();
try {
parser.setProperty("http://xml.org/sax/properties/lexical-handler", this);
parser.parse(inputSource, this); //BLAMMO!

Has anybody come across this error and its resolution?

I should add, the stack trace is
