Hi sreenivas,

As you see the error the SOAP fault message is throwing , it is wrong format of data is getting posted into the webservice. Please check the data and how the data must get posted into webservice.

Hi,

As the error shows as NullPointerException it is quite obvious that values are not getting passed as parameters.Please check the config of the SOAP adapter as well as payload whether datas are passed correctly or not.

Thanks and regards,

Hello,

Thanks for the reply.

SOAP adater is configured correctly with all parameters.

Is there any way to find out, which fileds are mandatory in Webservice structure. Currently data is passed to few structures, not for all.

you should be able to find that information in your mapping itself (in case a graphical). Look into the occurrences of the fields. If it is having the minimum occurrence as 1 then it is mandatory.

But i dont think the null pointer issue is to do with the data but rather the adapter configuration.

So look into the blog i have mentioned and confirm the parameters you have given.

Also make sure the adapter is updated in the cache.

do a complete cache refresh via SXI_CACHE and also a refresh of the CPA cache - http:// <server>:<port> /CPACache/refresh?mode=delta|full

Hello Shabarish,

Thanks for the reply.

Adaper is configured correctly.

When i checked in RWB for SOAP receiver adapter, i found error message as

SOAP: response message contains an error Application/UNKNOWN/APPLICATION_ERROR - application fault

Hi,

"SOAP: response message contains an error Application/UNKNOWN/APPLICATION_ERROR - application fault

"

I didnt find any related information on this type of error. Is it problem with request message(INPUT) or with response?

Sreenivas.

Hi,

unknown application error in response , means it could be problem due to wrong format of the response. Response does not match with the parameters you have configured in your soap adapter. Means, version of soap , binding etc...

Check if the sap note 871959 provides you some direction.

Also check the following discussions:

Hi,

It seems, this is problem with request it self. Co ordinate with the people handling the webservice. Compare the parameters you have give in your soap adater and they have given in webservice definition.

Please make sure you have given the right parameters in the SOAP adapter - /people/shabarish.vijayakumar/blog/2008/01/08/troubleshooting--rfc-and-soap-scenarios-updated-on-20042009
