Content-length header usage

reinerka Oct 18, 2005 12:45 PM

Hi,

is there a way that JBossWS can use the HTTP Content-Length field instead of using the length information embedded inside the content itself?

I'm having problems with a Web Service Client that can only work with the Content-Length field. Unfortunately there is no way that the client can be modified to use the current length information field.

I've been able to modify AXIS with JBoss 3.2.6 to use the Content-Length information by manually adding the header by implementing a simple OutputStream that calculates the total bytes written to the final OutputStream and then setting the ContentLength field with this data.

Thanks,
Reiner

Are you refering to a mime multipart message? I am not sure I follow which content length field you are talking about.

We do all the SOAP processing in our servlet for different reasons. When we generate the response it is done through SAAJ.

The transmitted message always comes up as:

123
<SOAP......

0

Some clients have problems with that as there is no Content-Length: field in the header.

A server log with org.jboss.axis at debug (maybe trace) level should show the message and the HTTP header fields.

Can show us an example of an incorrect Content-Length field?
