>          Key: AXIS-2142
>          URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS-2142
>      Project: Apache Axis
>         Type: Bug
>     Versions: current (nightly)
>  Environment: Axis 1.2 CVS using GNU classpathx javamail and activation implementations with Sun JDK 1.4.2_06
>     Reporter: Archit Shah
>  Attachments: DH.patch
>
> When running the Axis (not Axis2) CVS tip with javamail and activation implementations from GNU classpathx, two tests fail with ClassCastExceptions. These failures are due to incorrect use of DataHandlers. The failing tests are:
> test.wsdl.interop4.groupG.dime.rpc.DimeRPCInteropTestCase
> #test2DimeRPCSoapPortEchoAttachments
> test.wsdl.interop4.groupG.mime.rpc.MimeRPCInteropTestCase
> #test2MimeRPCSoapPortEchoAttachments
> And the stack trace is:
> java.lang.ClassCastException

> The convert method of org.apache.axis.utils.JavaUtils relies on the getContent method of javax.activation.DataHandler to get an InputStream for the data, twice doing the following:
>   in = (InputStream)handler.getContent();
> instead of:
>   in = handler.getInputStream();
> Calling getContent and casting to InputStream is not guaranteed to work. The Javadoc for the getContent method specifies "If no DataContentHandler can be found for the the type of this data, the DataHandler returns an InputStream for the data." Therefore, the cast can fail if a DataContentHandler is installed.  I ran into this exceptions because the GNU javamail implementation has a DataContentHandler for the MIME type application/octet-stream and getContent returns a byte array instead of the input stream.
> Casting the return value of getContent is also done in another context. JavaUtils and SourceDataHandlerDeserializer both do:
>   StreamSource ss = new StreamSource(new StringReader(
>     (String) dh.getContent()));
> when the following would suffice:
>   StreamSource ss = new StreamSource(dh.getInputStream());
