Problem with Java 5

[ktcorby@yahoo.com]

I have a webapp that uses Spring web services. It works well when compiled with Java 6 and run in Jboss run with Java 6. However, I am required to support Java 5 and having issues when compiling with Java 5 and running in Java 5 / Jboss. I am using the latest patch of Java 5 (12) and jboss-4.0.5.GA.

I am using a XmlBeansMarshaller to marshal my results. The problem occurs during the marshalling step. I get a different exception depending on whether I attempt to use SOAP 1.1 or 1.2, with either Saaj or Axiom. But I believe all the errors are related because they are similar.

Does anyone have an idea of what may be causing this? I have debugged it and stepped through everything, but I can't figure out why the SOAP is built incorrectly.

Here are the stack traces I've seen:

Axiom, SOAP 1.2

There are some issues with the JBoss SAAJ implementation, so I would trust that. Could you try and use the RI instead? See http://static.springframework.org/sp...tml#saaj-jboss

Of course, this doesn't explain the Axiom issues, but it gives us more info if we know that the RI SAAJ does work.

Thanks. Using the sun saaj implementation fixed my problem. I wish I had read the FAQ a week ago!
