org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The root element is required in a well-formed document

[geo]

Greetings!

I am stuck with this very same problem.
Using WAS 6.1.0.9 (JDK compliance 5.0) and spring-ws-1.0.2.

The server logs are just like mskendrick reports them.

Any tips or recommendations will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

We were using Spring-WS RC2 when we had the problem. The problem seems to be gone with Spring-WS 1.0.0.

[geo]

I just dowloaded and used Spring-WS 1.0.0 (vs. Spring-WS 1.0.2 i have been using)

It did not change anything.

You didn't play with the saaj-api.jar (s) by any chance as jwijgerd mentions?

Thanks very much for your reply!

I am running into the exact same error when running under JRE 1.4 as a spring-ws client hitting my spring-ws 1.0.2 web service running under JRE 1.5 with Tomcat 5.5.

When I use SoapUI (jre 1.5) as a client, everything works great but when I try using my JRE 1.4 client it bombs out with the same error.

Switching from spring-ws 1.0.2 to spring-ws 1.0.0 in my JRE 1.4 client made absolutely no difference at all, still getting the same error.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hello again.

jgoober: is your client running in Websphere, and if so which version?

My response soap is fine as per gsoap server (web service) logs. Besides, the rq/rs round trip (from my client to the server) works well when using the RAD WSDL2Java tool to generate the binding classes and proxy code. But when I use spring-ws-1.0.2 and xml-beans-2.3.0 instead the above error happens with the response payload.

I know Arjen and others mentioned potential issues with app server vendor SAAJ implementations so i tried to override the saaj jars with no luck. I took me a while just to locate the 1.2 versions and at the end the VM did not react kindly.

So I went the Axiom route but i am getting this (for the outbound request):

Hi geo,

No, I am not currently using Websphere a for either the client or the server but eventually I will be using Websphere 6.1 to host the web service. I am using JAXB2 on Tomcat currently and JAXB1 on the client for the marshalling. But I don't think my issue is with the marshaller, my issue is with SAAJ 1.X running under JRE 1.4 with Spring-WS (either 1.0.0 or 1.0.2) where I am have the following stack trace on the client but no issues on the server:

Hello again,

so i decided to go the JAXB2 route this aftenoon, just to make sure. Downloaded the jars, wrote the ant script, genned the binding types, run my client and... exact same results as previously (same as mskendrick reports).

So this just about nails it to a SAAJ problem, what most people in this thread suspected.

I am shutting my puter down and commencing my weekend festivities.

Talk soon,
/geo

[jgoober]

OK, After mucking around in the Spring-WS source (ver 1.0.2) last night, as well as reading other posts on this forum, I have determined that the differences in SAAJ implementations have not been taken completely into account in the Spring-WS source and need some attention.

The post, linked below has a fairly good description of the problem:

http://forum.springframework.org/sho...Premature+file

Here are the specs for my web service and client:

Web Service Server - Tomcat 5.5:
- JRE 1.5
- Spring 2.0.7
- Spring-WS 1.0.2 + Tiger jars
- JAXB 2
- SAAJ 1.3

Web Service Client- Stand Alone:
- JRE 1.4
- Spring 2.0.7
- Spring-WS 1.0.2
- JAXB 1
- SAAJ 1.2

Below is the output from the web service client call which fails due to an empty response (e.g. InputStream) by the time the MessageExtractor gets to it:
