    JBossWS incompatibility issue with older SOAP stack

    reinerka

      We have an issue when trying to run our application on the new JBoss-4.0.4.CR2 release instead of previous releases (including 4.0.4RC1).

      We have a special Servlet that makes heavy use of SAAJ and the resulting SOAP messages are quite different between the old AXIS based implementation and JBossWS. The new behaviour brakes all of our clients that are using our applicaiton and renders it useless right now.

      The following is the response to a message from a client in JBossWS:

      HTTP/1.1 200 OK
      Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1
      X-Powered-By: Servlet 2.4; JBoss-4.0.4.CR2 (build: CVSTag=JBoss_4_0_4_CR2 date=200603311500)/Tomcat-5.5
      Set-Cookie: JSESSIONID=D350AFBEA98D4CA4FFFB96D9296DAE05; Path=/
      Content-Type: text/xml
      Transfer-Encoding: chunked

      <env:Envelope xmlns:cwmp='urn:dslforum-org:cwmp-1-0' xmlns:env='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/'><env:Header/>
      2e
      <env:Body><cwmp:InformResponse><MaxEnvelopes>1
      f
      </MaxEnvelopes>
      16
      </cwmp:InformResponse>
      b
      </env:Body>
      f
      </env:Envelope>
      0
      


      While the following is the response from the previous AXIS implementation:

      HTTP/1.1 200 OK
      Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1
      X-Powered-By: Servlet 2.4; JBoss-4.0.3SP1 (build: CVSTag=JBoss_4_0_3_SP1 date=200510231054)/Tomcat-5.5
      Set-Cookie: JSESSIONID=2C247BFB4C83A6E00E607ABF99793713; Path=/
      Transfer-Encoding: chunked

       <soapenv:Body>
       <cwmp:InformResponse xmlns:cwmp="urn:dslforum-org:cwmp-1-0">
       <MaxEnvelopes>1</MaxEnvelopes>
       </cwmp:InformResponse>
       </soapenv:Body>
      </soapenv:Envelope>
      0
      
      


      The way the SOAP message is structured causes the client parsers (that we have no influence on) to break. Is there a way to achieve the same output as with the AXIS implementation that I'm missing?

      We've chosen JAAS to have a higher degree of control over the message parsing/generation that is required for our application and can't change that aspect.

      Thanks in advance for any advice,
      Reiner
