SOAPClient - unwanted WARN

[phicouek]

Hi

I found repeating WARN when I call WebService through SOAPClient.

WARN [HttpMethodBase] Going to buffer response body of large or unknown size. Using getResponseBodyAsStream instead is recommended.

Everything works fine, but I want know what does it mean. Is there any possibility to use suggested method? How the response is buffered? Should I clear this 'buffer'? Is there any way to hide this message if this warn can be ignored?

regards
jarek

I'm using JBossESB 4.2.1 and below is sample call
jboss-esb.xml

<action name="sendPagerRequestMapper"
 class="SendPagerRequestMapper">
 </action>
 <action name="sendPagerWs" class="org.jboss.soa.esb.actions.soap.SOAPClient">
 <property name="wsdl" value="http://validserver:8080/EMapComm/services/EMapCommSOAP?wsdl" />
 <property name="responseAsOgnlMap" value="true" />
 <property name="SOAPAction" value="PagerSend"/>
</action>

process method from SendPagerRequestMapper

public Message process(Message message) throws Exception
 {
 try
 {
 AutoMessage varMsg=(AutoMessage)message.getBody().get();
 HashMap requestMap = new HashMap();

 requestMap.put("PagerSend.capCode", varMsg.getCommServer());
 requestMap.put("PagerSend.message", varMsg.getMessage());

 message.getBody().add(requestMap);
 }
 catch(Exception ex)
 {
 ex.printStackTrace();
 }
 return message;
 }

The WARN would suggest that the webservice is responding using chunking and not specifying the content length. As a result, the HttpClient is buffering the message internally and emitting the warning.

On the whole this should be harmless unless, that is, your webservice is returning MBs.
