NullPointerException in parsing when sending attachments

["Liu, Scott" <SL...@netsuite.com>]

Hi, All,

 

I mentioned this in a different email. But this is really a separate issue which is worth of getting feedback from Axis experts.

 

I have a web service (Axis 1.1) to send messages from a client to a server. My web service is of doc/literal. The service worked when there was no attachment. Once I attached a simple text file using a .NET client Axis failed with a NullPointerException in parsing the soap document. The exception happened before it had ever reached the code of attachment processing.

 

Here is the stacktrace:

 

         <soapenv:Body>

            <soapenv:Fault>

               <faultcode>soapenv:Server.userException</faultcode>

                <faultstring>java.lang.NullPointerException</faultstring>

It looked like that the inputsteam in the call of FileInputSteam.available() was null when there was an attachement. I have attached the soap document in case it helps. 

 

Please share with me if you know what I might have done wrong.

 

Thanks,

 

Scott

 

P.S. the soap document. The XXX is the boundaries.
