Soap Adapter : Encoding

[Former Member]

Hi guys,

I'm having problems sending characters such as é ç è ô ... to my soap adapter. My scenario is that I am using a servlet to encode my soap envelop and then i'm sending it to my soap adapter. Here is a sample of my code :

HttpURLConnection connection = null;			
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();

...

sb.append(mapProp.getProperty(SOAP_BEG_ENVL));
				sb.append(mapProp.getProperty(SOAP_BEG_BODY));
				sb.append(mapProp.getProperty(SOAP_BEG_MT));
				sb.append(mapProp.getProperty(SOAP_BEG_HDR));
				sb.append(mapProp.getProperty(SOAP_BEG_INST)
						  + confProp.getProperty(INSTITUTION)
						  + mapProp.getProperty(SOAP_END_INST));
				sb.append(mapProp.getProperty(SOAP_BEG_DATE)
						  + date				
						  + mapProp.getProperty(SOAP_END_DATE));
				sb.append(mapProp.getProperty(SOAP_BEG_TIME)
		  	  			  + time
						  + mapProp.getProperty(SOAP_END_TIME));	  
						  
				sb.append(mapProp.getProperty(SOAP_END_HDR));
				
				sb.append(mapProp.getProperty(SOAP_BEG_DETAIL));
				

				buffReader = request.getReader();
				do {

					data = buffReader.readLine();
					if (data != null) {
						data = data.replaceAll("&", "&");
						data = data.replaceAll("<", "<");
						data = data.replaceAll(">", ">");
						data = data.replaceAll(""", """);
						data = data.replaceAll("'", "&apos;");
					
					sb.append(mapProp.getProperty(SOAP_BEG_DATA)
							  + data
							  + mapProp.getProperty(SOAP_END_DATA));
					}
				}
				while(data != null);

				
				sb.append(mapProp.getProperty(SOAP_END_DETAIL));
				sb.append(mapProp.getProperty(SOAP_END_MT));
				sb.append(mapProp.getProperty(SOAP_END_BODY));
				sb.append(mapProp.getProperty(SOAP_END_ENVL));
				
				
				//java.net.Authenticator.setDefault(new Auth());
				
				url = new URL(confProp.getProperty(HTTP_URL));
				connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();

				connection.setDoInput(true);
				connection.setDoOutput(true);
				connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Length", String.valueOf(sb.toString().length()));
				connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type","text/xml; charset=ISO-8859-1");
				connection.setRequestProperty("SOAPAction","SomeAction");
				connection.setRequestMethod( "POST" );

				Charset cs = Charset.forName("ISO-8859-1");

				out = connection.getOutputStream();
				OutputStreamWriter osw = new OutputStreamWriter(out, cs);
				
				
				osw.write(sb.toString().toCharArray());
				osw.close();
				out.close();
...

This is the error message I get back from my client :

java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 400 for URL: https://XXXXX.wshs.:3405/dev/RM/Sync/Procurement

at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.getInputStream(HttpURLConnection.java:814)

at sun.net.www.protocol.https.HttpsURLConnectionImpl.getInputStream(DashoA12275)

at App.main(App.java:117)

I have no problems when their are no accented characters.

thanks for your help.

Hi,

How do you do that? I''m passing the charset via the web service but it has no affect.

Thanks

Hi,

You are using a sender soap adapter right?

If so, you need to enter the encoding as part of the url and not in the module.

http://host:port /XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel<b>=...&xmlenc=iso-8859-1</b>

Thanks. I was already using it. It's probably a bug in the soap sender adapter.

Hi,

You would also need to make sure that the xml declaration of the payload has the same encoding 'iso-8859-1'

Refer note 856597 for more details on this.

Thanks. I read the note many times but I didnt see that I forgot to add

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

before the envelop declaration. My bad.

Hi,

Have you changed the encoding scheme at the receiver soap adapter?

By default the soap adater has a UTF-8 encoding.

I added the parameter XMBWS.XMLEncoding iso-8859-1 for the soap module but my payload is still encoded as UTF-8. Do I need to add something to the file i'm sending saying to use iso-8859-1?

Thanks

Hi,

This might also cause due to time out, Check this Note - Note : 705013.

This might help you
