Hi All,
I am using axis-c-final-1.5 and encountered problems of that kind, too,
but it seemed not to be a time-out problem. I took a look at
src/xml/xerces/SoapBinInputStream.cpp:41 - method readBytes
unsigned int SoapBinInputStream::readBytes(XMLByte* const pcToFill,
const unsigned int iMaxToRead)
{
int iRead = iMaxToRead;
m_pInputStream->getBytes((char*)pcToFill, &iRead);
m_nByteCount += iRead;
return iRead;
}
This method doesn't recognize if transport is still in progress after
m_pInputStream->getBytes was called. If iRead is less than iMaxToRead
and there are some more bytes left to receive, they get lost. If you
think of the buffer size of HTTPChannel (BUF_SIZE == 8096) and the value
of iMaxToRead (49152), you see that this must lead to truncated data
if the amount to receive is greater that BUF_SIZE.
This in mind, I rewrote that method:
unsigned int SoapBinInputStream::readBytes(XMLByte* const pcToFill,
const unsigned int iMaxToRead)
{
// Bernd Weber: call m_pInputStream->getBytes in a loop checking
// AXIS_TRANSPORT_STATUS and the remaining space
unsigned iLoopRead = 0;
AXIS_TRANSPORT_STATUS status = TRANSPORT_IN_PROGRESS;
do {
int iRead = iMaxToRead - iLoopRead;
char* pcBuffer = (char*)(pcToFill + iLoopRead);
status = m_pInputStream->getBytes(pcBuffer, &iRead);
m_nByteCount += iRead; // this instance's byte
amount
iLoopRead += iRead; // this loop's byte amount
if (iLoopRead < iMaxToRead) {
pcToFill[iLoopRead] = 0;
}
} while (status == TRANSPORT_IN_PROGRESS && iMaxToRead > iLoopRead);
return iLoopRead;
}
Please check if these changes fix your problems, too, and if they could
get part of the next Axis release.
Best regards and thanks for Axis-c!
