Hi, We have been using apache soap 2.2 successfully in many of our web applications over the past one year with websphere 3.5.4. When I tried to add a new soap call(Element saveItemWithDocuments(int userID, Hashtable itemDocuments, Element itemElement)), i was getting errors, which i came to learn that were fixed in soap 2.3(bug #2470). Then I upgraded to soap 2.3.1 and am still getting errors. The Hashtable parameter contains key value pairs where key is Integer and value is a byte[] representing pdf bytes. These pdf bytes are transferred from one web application to another web application through the above soap call. I tried to generate the actual pdf at both ends. I can not generate actual pdf at the recieving web app(something is goofy about the byte[]) while the pdf comes fine at the sending web app. This leads me to believe that there may be something wrong with the default serializers and deserializers for byte[] that come with soap. Has any one experienced this difficulty where one will have a byte[] in a Hashtable parameter when the soap call returns a Element? Any clues? I can not provide u any meaningful stack trace because the pdf bytes at the recieving web app go to a database through a jdbc prepared statement and the jdbc driver complains the the parameter(byte[]) doesn't match with database field type(sql server, image). (i have also checked the jdbc part through a stand alone application with pdf bytes generated at the sending web app end, and everything comes through fine).
note: the pdf byte[] is generated by fop 0.20.4 which we are using in many of our applications Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Vishnu Akkaraju, Intellequip, Inc. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
