VB client to apache invoking EJB error

[Anting Xu <an...@hotmail.com>]

Hi:

I have got a VB client talking with Apache Server (invoking a class method) 
based on the demos provided in this mailing list, I am trying to set up the 
VB client invoking a EJB of the apache server(similar to the ejb example 
provided by apache, but vb to apache instead of apache to apache). VB client 
request has encoding style in the soap envelop section which works well with 
directly invoking a class method, but will cause this error from the 
StatelessEJBProvider if directly invoking a EJB. Apache client request has 
the encoding style in the soap body and this works well with the 
StatelessEJBProvider.

Is this a problem(bug) with the StatelessEJBProvider mechanism? or I am 
missing something here?

Any feedback will be appreciated.

Here is the tcp tunnel trace of the request from VB client where you can see 
the encodingStyle is in the envelop(and this is probably the reason causing 
the StatelessEJBProvider to fail ?):

Here is the tcp tunnel trace sent from the apache client to invoke EJB where 
you can see the encoding style is in the soap body.( and this works with the 
StatelessEJBProvider)
