500 Internal Server Error - java.lang.NullPointerException

[Former Member]

We have a several external parties posting XML w/ attachments to our soap adapter (PI 7). Everything is fine except one party receives a 500 Internal Server Error when posting. The SOAP response error is the following:

<s:SystemError xmlns:s='http://sap.com/xi/WebService/xi2.0'>

<context>XIAdapter</context>

<code>ADAPTER.JAVA_EXCEPTION</code>

<text><![CDATA[

java.lang.NullPointerException

]]></text>

</s:SystemError>

We turned on logging and checked trace and we see the following:

May 11, 2009 11:35:53 AM com.sap.aii.af.mp.soap.web.MessageServlet.doPost(HttpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse) [SAPEngine_Application_Thread[impl:3]_62] Path : Entering method with (com.sap.engine.services.servlets_jsp.server.runtime.client.HttpServletRequestFacade@20a096ea, com.sap.engine.services.servlets_jsp.server.runtime.client.HttpServletResponseFacade@50e7c69d)

My guess is that their SOAP envelope or MIME parts are malformed but we are not able to identify the exact problem.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hey,

The HTTP code 500 indicates internal error in your application.

Check on to the stacktrace in

<local drive>:\usr\sap\XXX\YYY\j2ee\cluster\server0\log

check note number 804124 at service.sap.com

>My guess is that their SOAP envelope or MIME parts are malformed

No

Hi Agasthuri,

This is a sender adapter using the SOAP adapter with HTTP. The customer is using webMethods trying to post to our PI system.
