JAX B Marshaller & Spring WS

[Abhijit Joshi]

Hi,
I am using JAX-B (2) as a marshaller for Spring web services (2.5.4) on Tomcat 5.5
I have a client generated by Axis WSDL2Java
All my services run perfectly fine and return the data to client.
There is one service which returns non-english characters.

Following are request and response SOAP Envelopes
REQUEST ENVELOPE:
POST ....
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
Accept: application/soap+xml, application/dime, multipart/related, text/*
User-Agent: Axis/1.4
Host: localhost:9090
Cache-Control: no-cache
Pragma: no-cache
SOAPAction: ""
Content-Length: 394

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv=" xmlns:xsd=".." xmlns:xsi=".."><soapenv:Body><fetchStaticList xmlns=""><key>AccessoryTranslations</key></fetchStaticList></soapenv:Body></soapenv:Envelope>


RESPOSNE ENV:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1
SOAPAction: ""
Content-Type: text/xml
Date: Fri, 18 Jul 2008 14:24:29 GMT
Connection: close

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="..." ...soapenv:Body><ns1:fetchStaticListResponse...">< ns1:fetchStaticListReturn><ns1:errorCode xmlns:xsi="..." xsi:nil="true"/><ns1:errorDescription xmlns:xsi="..." xsi:nil="true"/><ns1:status>Success</ns1:status><ns1:accessoryCodes xmlns:xsi="..." xsi:nil="true"/><ns1:accessoryTranslations><ns1:item><ns1:entityC d>Accessories</ns1:entityCd><ns1:languageId>1</ns1:languageId><ns1:languageName>1</ns1:languageName><ns1:text>&#x4100;&#x6300;&#x6900 ;&#x6400;&#x2000;&#x4600;&#x6C00;&#x6100;&#x6E00;& #x6700;&#x6500;</ns1:text><ns1:textCd>ACD</ns1:textCd></ns1:item><ns1:item><ns1:entityCd>Accessories
....................


This is translated as a SOAP Fault on the client side

Exception in thread "main" AxisFault
faultCode: {...}
Server.userException
faultSubcode:
faultString: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Character reference &quot;&amp;#xDC00&quot; is an invalid XML character.
faultActor:
faultNode:
faultDetail:


On the server side it displays following message

If I use TCPMon ofcourse the TCPMon prevents being error thrown on server side.

Does anyone can give me a idea of what is going on here? Do I have to set encoding explicitely on the server side for web services?
I have already set the client encoding to UTF-8 using
_call.setProperty(org.apache.axis.client.Call.CHAR ACTER_SET_ENCODING,
"UTF-8");

Why response of all service operations which return only english characters is decoded successfully and it fails in case when service returns european characters?
I think its a Axis client specific problem. But getting no idea how to resolve this

Can any one please help me on this?

Hi there,

I have similer issue, We developed spring based webservice 1.5.1, using jaxb2 marshaller for xml, service works good for standard characters. Whenever input xml has chineese character in it then service outputs ??? instead of the original character.
Client sends UTF-8 we verified that, so we are loosing the characters in spring framework, what i understand from documentation spring-ws by default uses UTF-8. Webservice is deployed on Weblogic 9.2. Any idea what's missing here?

part of xml input:
<ns1:subject>城镇荔城大道百花路 test</ns1:subject>

xml output

<ns1:subject>????????? test</ns1:subject>

Spring servlet config file for marshaller:

<bean id="jaxbMarshaller" class="org.springframework.oxm.jaxb.Jaxb2Marshalle r">
<description>
The JAXB Marshaller is used by the sendToTargetRequest to (un)marshal XML to objects and vice-versa.
</description>
<property name="contextPath" value="xx.orders.types:xx.orders.functionalack"/>
<property name="mtomEnabled" value="false"/>
<property name="marshallerProperties">
<map>
<entry key="jaxb.encoding">
<value>UTF-8</value>
</entry>
</map>
</property>
</bean>

Any help on resolving this encoding issue is highly aprreciated.

Thanks,
Shan.
