axis beta2 sun jdk 1.4.0 solaris 8, patched up as of a month ago tomcat 4.0.3 512M RAM, 2 hypersparc 150 cpus
I have 3 services that I mount and test. Testing works fine running axis client to axis server. (several hundred parallel calls, hundred serial calls, etc.) Axis crashes when accessed via pocketsoap 1.2.3 client (and when it crashes entire servlet container, i.e. tomcat, goes with it). Upgrading pocketsoap to 1.3.0 fixed _but_ the idea that a malformed request can crash your production servlet container is daunting to say the least. Prior to axis beta 2 I was using apache soap 2.2 and that environment handled the pocletsoap 1.2.3 requests fine. I had to drop soap 2.2 and switch to axis because I have services that call other services (rarely) but under apache soap 2.2. that caused a race condition lockup with everything grinding to a complete halt. Axis does not have that race problem, but going belly up's no fun. I haven't tested the problem on more common platforms (i.e. linux/win2k) yet. Also, when I left the service running Sunday evening all was well. Came back this morning to run some more data tests and it was hosed again. Any clues? thanks, Heitzso
