RE: Axis blows up in AbstractXMLEncoder when serializing a complex object array of over 1000 elements.

[Tami Wright]

Okay, figured out the problem.  A third-party commercial app (a service
that my web-service is a client to) was returning munged data. There
should not be this problem inside this app, so apparently the problem
was not Axis' fault.  I wrote a little utility class (using a couple of
lines of code from the AbstractXMLEncoder inside of Axis) to do a check
on my strings that are going on the wire to ensure that they are XML
friendly so that they can be appropriately serialized/deserialized.  If
they aren't, this object makes thems so.  Here is the code for anyone
interested:

public class XMLFriendlyString
{

    public String getXMLFriendlyString(String unfriendlyString)
    {
        char[] characters = unfriendlyString.toCharArray();
        char character;
        StringBuffer stringBuf = new
StringBuffer(unfriendlyString.length());

        for (int i = 0; i < characters.length; i++)
        {
            character = characters[i];
            if (character < 0x20)
                character = ' ';
            stringBuf.append(character);
        }
        return stringBuf.toString();
    }
}

Hi,

Thanks for responding.  I changed the heap size for Tomcat and shutdown
TCPMon and am still getting the same error.

I found that tcpmon uses a lot of memory, so if you are using that
you'll
need to increase the heap size when starting tcpmon.

Hi All,

Anyone ever had problems with Axis (1.2 beta) blowing up when trying to
return a complex object containing an array of 1000 elements or so?  I
am and I wondered if it was a bug.  If so, where do I go to file a bug
report?

Thanks,

Tami
