Problems with Spring WS Streaming Attachments with Security Interceptor

[craigwarren]

Hi,

I'm having problems getting Spring WS to receive a request which has a file attached and use streaming. The problem is I get the following exception whenever I try to use a security interceptor:

I am using the Axiom Message Factory:

<bean id="messageFactory" class="org.springframework.ws.soap.axiom.AxiomSoapMessageFactory">
    <property name="payloadCaching" value="false"/>
    <property name="attachmentCaching" value="true"/>
    <property name="attachmentCacheThreshold" value="1024" />
</bean>

My endpoint mapping uses the wss4jSecurityInterceptor:

<bean class="org.springframework.ws.server.endpoint.mapping.PayloadRootQNameEndpointMapping">
    <property name="mappings">
        <props>
            <prop key="{http://www.aquilauk.co.uk/hribulkupload}BulkHRRequest">hriBulkUploadEndpoint</prop>
        </props>
    </property>
     <property name="interceptors">
        <list>
            <!-- <bean class="org.springframework.ws.server.endpoint.interceptor.PayloadLoggingInterceptor"/> -->
            <ref bean="wss4jSecurityInterceptor"/>
        </list>            
    </property>
</bean>

and my security interceptor has been set up to not make use of the Payload:

<bean id="wss4jSecurityInterceptor" class="org.springframework.ws.soap.security.wss4j.Wss4jSecurityInterceptor">
    <property name="validationActions" value="UsernameToken" />
    <property name="validationCallbackHandler" ref="springWSS4JHandler"/>
    <property name="secureResponse" value="false"/>
    <property name="secureRequest" value="false" />
</bean> 


<bean id="acegiWSS4JHandler" 
    class="org.springframework.ws.soap.security.wss4j.callback.SpringPlainTextPasswordValidationCallbackHandler">
    <property name="authenticationManager" ref="authenticationManager"/>
</bean>

Thanks in advance,
Craig

To correct this, set AxiomSoapMessageFactory's payloadCaching="true" which still exposes the app to OutOfMemory problems.
Or/ And try to to use axiom-impl 1.2.8. The 1.2.9 raises problems.

[craigwarren]

I've tried PayloadCaching=true, but as expected it results in an OutOfMemoryError when I transmit a large file.

I was using 1.2.7 of axiom and have upgraded to 1.2.8 but I still have the same problems.

[mada]

Is your goal is to send Big files in attachement without out of memory ?

Avoid AxiomSoapMessageFactory and use the default one and add SAAJ RI 1.3.4
& set the system property "saaj.use.mimepull" to "true". This would allowing handling of large attachments in incoming messages (store in fact in the temp directory).

See details here :
http://weblogs.java.net/blog/kumarja...es-saaj-ri-134

Test it by monitoring with jconsole. (i have try attachment of 150mo in a request without problem with tomcat with only basic unchanged settings (64mo)).

[craigwarren]

I found the problem:

my wss4jSecurityInterceptor had an incorrect setup:

<property name="secureRequest" value="false" />
<property name="secureResponse" value="false" />

should have been

<property name="validateRequest" value="false" />
<property name="validateResponse" value="false" />

The security interceptor now successfully validates the request.
