[jira] Commented: (AXIS-2369) Printing out a SOAPHeader changes its internal state causing later problems

["Santeri Paavolainen (JIRA)" <ax...@ws.apache.org>]

    [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS-2369?page=comments#action_12362637 ] 

Santeri Paavolainen commented on AXIS-2369:
-------------------------------------------

I realized that this occurs even when the whole message (Envelope) is printed. For example, if log4j debugging is enabled at sufficient level the envelope is printed two times. The first printing:

2006-01-13 15:30:52,608 DEBUG [client.Call]: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"><soapenv:Header><ns2:RoamingHeaderType soapenv:actor="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/actor/next" soapenv:mustUnderstand="0" ns1:mustUnderstand="true" xmlns:ns1="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:ns2="http://uri.etsi.org/TS102207/v1.1.2#">...

and the second time it is printed (serialized into a string in XML form) when the actual HTTP request is generated and sent. The request string can also be printed:

2006-01-13 15:30:52,795 DEBUG [http.HTTPSender]: POST /app/services/MSS_Signature HTTP/1.0
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8

User-Agent: Axis/1.3

Content-Length: 2760

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"><soapenv:Header><ns1:RoamingHeaderType soapenv:actor="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/actor/next" soapenv:mustUnderstand="0" ns1:mustUnderstand="true" xmlns:ns1="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope">...

Again, namespace has been mysteriously changed. The latter one is what is actually sent, so server gets a request with invalid namespace in the header element. 

The header element will again be in correct namespace at the server side *if* logging is disabled.

> Printing a SOAPHeader apparently causes it to change its state. Apparently printing cases the objects namespaces to be internally set. Basically, with code:
>         System.out.println("Setting SOAP header " + i + ": " + soapHeaders[i]); 
>         stub.setHeader(soapHeaders[i]); 
> the soap header is printed out nicely (I am not going to include it, since what client prints out doesn't matter in this case, but what it sees eg. what server sees), and the server gets the following request:
> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"><soapenv:Header><ns1:RoamingHeaderType soapenv:actor="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/actor/next" soapenv:mustUnderstand="0" ns1:mustUnderstand="true" xmlns:ns1=>...
> If the print statement is removed, then the following request is received by the server:
> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"><soapenv:Header><ns2:RoamingHeaderType soapenv:actor="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/actor/next" soapenv:mustUnderstand="0" ns1:mustUnderstand="true" xmlns:ns1="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:ns2="http://uri.etsi.org/TS102207/v1.1.2#">...
> The important difference is in Envelope/Header/RoamingHeaderType ands its namespace. In the first case it is  (as ns1) and in the latter case (the correct value) "http://uri.etsi.org/TS102207/v1.1.2#" (as ns2). The only difference between these two requests is either having a println (with implied toString) and not having it.
> I guess the following happens: When toString() is called, the SOAPHeader will assign internally namespace *names* to various components. These are assigned from an empty collection of namespaces, so the first one starts at "ns1" (or similar). This assignment somehow gets "stuck" (is it cached?), so when later the message is linearized again into XML format as part of the *whole* request the old namespace name assignment gets used. However in the latter case the "ns1" namespace is already taken by "http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope", so the object gets incorrect namespace name assignment, and thus ends also up in the wrong namespace.
> Note that this problem is very subtle. It suffices that the header is printed out at any point *prior* sending the request. The printing can occur before or after setHeader() call, and as long as it occurs bevore the invoke() operation, the namespaces will get mangled up.
