External SOAP client fails due to httpheader issue

[davesiracusa]

We have an external client that is trying to invoke a SOAP based web service proxied on the the bus w/ SOAPProxy.

They happen to be passing in an httpheader with a empty/null value.

The servlet asserts while processing the headers.  I blieve null/empty values are allowed.

It asserts due to the following in http/HttpHeader.java:

public class HttpHeader implements Serializable {

    private String name;
    private String value;

    public HttpHeader(String name, String value) {
        AssertArgument.isNotNullAndNotEmpty(name, "name");
        AssertArgument.isNotNullAndNotEmpty(value, "value"); // <==========================
        this.name = name;
        this.value = value;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public String getValue() {
        return value;
    }
}

Ah... sounds like that should be relaxed perhaps.... can you create a JIRA for this please?

A workaround for you might be to override the HttpMessageComposer class.

Hi Tom

I tried...Jira requires me to login (again), and it gives me a login error.  I have the same problem when trying to sign a cla.

I reported this 3-4 weeks ago, there were a few replies none of them resolved the problem.  Nothing in the site logs.

Best,

Dave
