RE: [servicemix-user] Problem with HTTPConnector/HTTPInvoker sequences

[Michael Studman]

I’ve discovered the problem here: XML truncation because HTTPInvoker does an XML transform that has a side-effect of eliminating insignificant whitespace on the input message but reuses the original HTTP header value for “Content-Length” when sending the transformed XML.   Although my example is contrived, I can see this being a problem in real situations. If there is a sequence of services with a HTTPComponent on one end and a HTTPInvoker somewhere in the chain, and all services in-between copy NormalizedMessage properties at each stage then this truncation will occur and be rather hard to diagnose, I imagine.   I’ll raise a JIRA issue.   Michael.   From: Michael Studman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 02 November 2005 11:23 To: user@servicemix.codehaus.org Subject: [servicemix-user] Problem with HTTPConnector/HTTPInvoker sequences   Hi,   For laughs I decided to extend the basic HTTP example and sequence a number of HTTPConnector/HTTPInvoker pairs terminated by a TraceComponent like this…   HTTPClient -> (localhost:8912)HTTPConnector -> HTTPInvoker –> (localhost:8913)HTTPConnector -> HTTPInvoker -> (localhost:8914)HTTPConnector -> TraceComponent   …I’m finding this doesn’t work as somewhere along the chain the XML content is being corrupted. I’ve attached the servicemix-longerchain.xml I’m using and the output-longerchain.log that’s generated. After playing around a bit with the following configuration sequence:   HTTPClient -> (localhost:8912)HTTPConnector -> HTTPInvoker -> (localhost:8913)HTTPConnector  -> TraceComponent   …I’m finding the TraceComponent is receiving what seems to be truncated XML which causes the identity XSLT transformation that does the tracing to fail. The first HTTPConnector seems to receive the XML sent so it looks like it’s either the first HTTPInvoker or the second HTTPConnecter that individually fail in some way or fail together. servicemix-shorterchain.xml and output-shorterchain.log are attached also.   Any ideas on this or where I’ve gone wrong?   Michael.
