Yes, that is normal from an HTTP perspective (where the consuming system does not handle the Soap Fault). You get that because ARS returns a Soap Fault and closes the connection. If the consuming system does not detect the Soap Fault then all it sees is the connection close and to it that is a HTTP 500 error
Run it from SoapUI and you will see you get a Soap Fault stating no results found Fred From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Joe D'Souza Sent: Tuesday, September 17, 2013 7:17 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Web Service Get Operations behavior... ** I think this is as designed but I wanted to cross verify.. If I have a WS that I publish to the 'world' to perform a Get operation, and lets say the search qualification returns no results. The is it normal to get a '500 - Internal Server Error' as a response to a search where no results are to be found? For some reason I thought the normal thing was to get an envelope with the elements defined to be returned with blank tags if no results were returned. I am on ARS 7.6.04 Patch 003 - if it's a bug in this version upgrading it at this point is not an option. So if the above is not a regular response I should have got for no matching entries I may have to live with that for a while. I just want to know if this is what you'll get on your versions of the ARS if at all you'll have published web services. Please run a search that would return no rows and let me know what you get..
