Error when receiving SOAP message from a web service

[Paulo Carvalho]

Hello,

I have built a JAXWS web service which returns an Object (ResultReport) as result. This class contains a result string and a SOAPMessage.

My webservices executes a method which builds a SOAPMessage. In the web service I have build a test class to verify if everything is OK.

My test class:

  ...
  final String sXml = getXml();
  final ResultReport m = r.buildReport(sXml);
  final SOAPMessage msg = (SOAPMessage) m.getSoapMsg();
  msg.writeTo(System.out);

My buildReport method:

public ResultReport buildReport(@WebParam(name = "xml") final String xml) {
  final ResultReport r = new ResultReport();
  r.setFlag("OK");
  // Checks if the received XML is not empty
  if(xml.isEmpty()) {
    r.setFlag("NOT_OK");
  }
		
  final SOAPMessage m = (SOAPMessage) TestExport.process(xml);
  r.setSoapMsg(m);
  
  return r;
}

The result is the expected. The value of the SOAPMessage is written on the console and it is:

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"><SOAP-ENV:Header/><SOAP-ENV:Body><Result>OK</Result><Message/></SOAP-ENV:Body></SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

However, when I call the buildReport webservice method from a client class, I get an error:

Exception in thread "main" com.sun.xml.internal.ws.protocol.soap.MessageCreationException: Couldn't create SOAP message due to exception: XML reader error: javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamException: ParseError at [row,col]:[1,95]

The error happens in the buildReport method when I try to build my SOAPMessage (final SOAPMessage m = (SOAPMessage) TestExport.process(xml);).

For now, it is a simple SOAPMessage. But I am doing this because I want to add an attachment into the SOAPMessage and return it to the client who called the web service.

Thanks for any help

Have you check the content of the xml which is the input to the method? Can you post that?
