hexidecimal buffer size dumped into response XML from SOAP call





------- Additional Comments From joe_mueller@mentor.com  2003-04-22 23:57 -------
Sorry, the bug report was submitted prior to completion. The function is 
defined as:

public String testInterface(String ref) {
    return "retval: " + ref;
}

When called (and traced via TCPTrace), here's the result. Notice the 205 prior 
to the XML payload and the zero following it. These numbers are screwing up the 
parsing of the XML on the client side (Microsoft SOAP Toolkit 3.0). If I use 
the Microsoft Trace Utility, it also confirms that the returned XML is invalid 
and contains the hex numbers as indicated. This does not appear to be fatal for 
simple return types, but when returning complex types and decoding them with 
custom type mappers on the Microsoft side, the problem is fatal.
