Hi Oliver!

The code you use to read the content of the file is incorrect. The size of the char array you are allocating equals the file size, which is calculated in number of bytes. For UTF-8, if special characters appear in the file, the number of characters is less than the number of bytes. Therefore you will indeed have null characters at the end of your array. I suggest to use one of the IOUtils.toString methods from Commons IO to read the file content as a string.

Hi

I try to call a soap-service on an axis2 1.3 server with only one string argument. The value of the string argument I get from a file which is utf-8 encoded and contains special characters like "äöü".

I read the file as followed:
----------------------------
Reader in = new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(m_sUploadFile), "UTF-8");
char[] chr = new char[(int)new File(m_sUploadFile).length()];
in.read(chr);
in.close();
String sArgument = new String(chr);
----------------------------

If I now call the service with sArgument as argument, I get ever the error:
----------------------------
org.apache.axis2.AxisFault: Invalid null character in text to output
at org.apache.axis2.AxisFault.makeFault(AxisFault.java:417)
at org .apache .axis2 .transport .http.SOAPMessageFormatter.writeTo(SOAPMessageFormatter.java:72) at org .apache .axis2 .transport .http.AxisRequestEntity.writeRequest(AxisRequestEntity.java:84) at org .apache .commons .httpclient .methods .EntityEnclosingMethod.writeRequestBody(EntityEnclosingMethod.java: 495) at org .apache .commons.httpclient.HttpMethodBase.writeRequest(HttpMethodBase.java: 1973)
----------------------------

This is my soap-client-code:
----------------------------
try {
RPCServiceClient sender = new RPCServiceClient();
Options options = sender.getOptions();
// Set the Server-Reference
EndpointReference targetEPR = new EndpointReference(m_sCPSServerURL +"/CPSServerRedSys");
options.setTo(targetEPR);
// Set the operation to be called
QName op_xmlexport = new QName(CPSSERVER_NAMESPACE, "redsysImportStructure");
// Set the parameters
Object[] opArgs = new Object[] { new String(sStructureXMLStream),
new Integer(iRedSysUserID)
};
Class[] returnTypes = new Class[] { String.class };
// Call WebService
Object[] response = sender.invokeBlocking(op_xmlexport, opArgs, returnTypes);
// Read Return data
if(response[0] != null) {
String sResponse = response[0].toString();
if(sResponse.startsWith("CPS-Error: ")) {
oSB_ImportReport.append(sResponse.substring(sResponse.indexOf("CPS- Error: ")+11));
bOK = false;
} else {
oSB_ImportReport.append(response[0].toString());
}
}
} catch(AxisFault e) {
oSB_ImportReport.append("Error calling CPSServer: " +e.toString());
bOK = false;
}
----------------------------

Can anyone help?

Great thanks,
