returning XML as xsd:string

[Bruce McHaffie]

Title: Message

Hi, I have a Java web service that returns xsd:string data to the Axis C++ client. I have noticed that if the returned string contains angle brackets (<>) then the client fails (with a heap corruption message -- I'm running in debug). The SOAP message is returned correctly, and the start element is found. The error seems to happen when the client tries to parse the message for the content of the string.

 

Client fails at:  getElementAsString( AxisChar* pName, AxisChar* pNamespace)

File is: SoapDeSerializer.cpp

Line number is: 3049 in Axis C++ 1.4,

Call is: m_pNode = m_pParser->next (true);

 

Sample SOAP message that fails:

 

<soapenv:Envelope>
 <soapenv:Body>
  <getEnvelopeRecipientResponse soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
    <getEnvelopeRecipientReturn xsi:type="xsd:string"><Any string at all></getEnvelopeRecipientReturn>
  </getEnvelopeRecipientResponse>
 </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

 

Sample SOAP message that works:

 

<soapenv:Envelope>
 <soapenv:Body>
  <getEnvelopeRecipientResponse soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
    <getEnvelopeRecipientReturn xsi:type="xsd:string">Any string at all</getEnvelopeRecipientReturn>
  </getEnvelopeRecipientResponse>
 </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

 

I tried escaping the angle brackets with &lt; and &gt; but that didn't solve the problem. Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

 

Bruce.
