Bug in mime Apache SOAP samples

[Eduardo Yanez <ey...@eversystems.com>]

The SOAP 2.2 version has a bug in their mime samples. (Please use fixed font
to read this email)

I set my classpath to:

set CLASSPATH=E:\soap-2_2;
              E:\soap-2_2\lib\xerces.jar;
              E:\soap-2_2\lib\soap.jar;
              E:\soap-2_2\lib\mail.jar;
              E:\soap-2_2\lib\activation.jar;. <-- My classpath

Then I run the "soap-2_2/samples/mime/testit.cmd" batch file step by step:

set URL=http://localhost:8082/soap/servlet/rpcrouter <-- for the Tcp Tunnel
Monitor
                                                         (My servlet engine
is listening on port 8080)

set BASEDIR=E:\soap-2_2\samples\mime\ <-- My basedir value

java org.apache.soap.server.ServiceManagerClient %URL% deploy
DeploymentDescriptor.xml <-- success!

java org.apache.soap.server.ServiceManagerClient %URL% list <-- success!
      Output:
            Deployed Services:
                  urn:mimetest

java samples.mime.MimeTestClient %URL% sendFile foo.txt <-- success!
   Output:
      Received attachment:
      Content type: text/plain
      Name: null
      Content class: java.lang.String
      Content: bar!

java samples.mime.MimeTestClient %URL% loopFile fields.gif <-- Error!! :-(
   Output:
      Caught SOAPException (SOAP-ENV:Client):
      Error parsing response:
         javax.mail.MessagingException: Missing start boundary
         [SOAPException: faultCode=SOAP-ENV:Client; msg=Error parsing

         Missing start boundary;

            at samples.mime.MimeTestClient.main(MimeTestClient.java:159)

The Tcp Tunnel output is this:

I can see that the response buffer does not have a start boundary
specification like the request buffer has
(start="7453641.994784837712.apache-soap.serverey") i think this is the
cause.

I wish to know where to find the components (all the *.jar files) to build
SOAP by my self and aid to the project in finding this bug. Is another way
in which i could help?. (appart from using soap of course).

Eduardo Yanez.
