SOAP: call failed: java.io.IOException

[Former Member]

Hi gurus,

I was executing several stress-tests for an interface between to non-SAP systems over PI, that both use async SOAP adapter communication.

The requirement is to transfer up to 70mb files with single files. I executed the tests successfully with a 50MB message size and lower, and then I tried with a 70MB message, but the message failed and got this error in the adapter log:

SOAP: call failed: java.io.IOException: invalid content type for SOAP: TEXT/HTML; HTTP 500 Internal Server Error

I believe this is coming from the adapter itself and not from the receiving system. I have checked the binary message data from the messaging system and it looks perfectly fine.

Any ideas why this is happening? Is there a limitation for message sizes with the SOAP adapter?

I also checked the messaging system configuration settings in the AS Java but could not find anythig related to the SOAP adapter.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Gokhan,

I believe this is a client-side error, as your request was not properly addressed and the SOAP service was not reached.

Any ideas why this is happening? Is there a limitation for message sizes with the SOAP adapter?

Well, SAP's message size limit is huge but a lot depends on your receiving server's capabilities and network connections. So, you might not be able to reach the SAP's tested message size. In my project, I am able to do a max of 55 megs through SOAP.

Hope this helps.

This error was coming from ICM as the request size exceeded the ICM's defined limit.
