webservice called from a webapp deployed in Tomcat 6 using Axis1 .4

[Oscar Rugama]

Hi Everyone,

I have developed a Web-App which calls a webservices through Axis 1.4 client and deployed it in Tomcat 6. Everything works fine for the simple response(reply without attachments). The problem comes when i try to call a webservice that returns response with attachments. Following is the Exception thrown by the Call.invoke method.

Hi,

i´ve found the problem.

The problem is that with Axis1.4 Distribution, there are two libraries:

xercesImpl-2.6.2.jar
xml-apis-2.6.2.jar

That should be use for XML, SOAP messages with attachments doesn´t work with these libraries.

However if I use different version of these libraries

xercesImpl.jar
xml-apis.jar


It works all fine
