Well, i apologize, my solution didn't work. I tested it yesterday with a 120.000 items array and i have the same OutOfMemory Exception, so now i really have a problem with my boss xDDD
In reply to Alexander: At first, sorry by my poor English, but I don't have a lot of time for trying to improve it xD Here's an example of the SOAP Request im doing: POST /mwpost/servicepost HTTP/1.0 Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8 Accept: application/soap+xml, application/dime, multipart/related, text/* User-Agent: Axis/1.0 Host: 192.168.1.1 Cache-Control: no-cache Pragma: no-cache SOAPAction: "" Content-Length: 809 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <soapenv:Body> <ns1:dispatchWithTracking soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:ns1="http://soapinterop.org/"> <arg0 xsi:type="xsd:string">contract</arg0> <arg1 xsi:type="xsd:string">login</arg1> <arg2 xsi:type="xsd:string">pwd</arg2> <arg3 xsi:type="xsd:string">description</arg3> <arg4 xsi:type="soapenc:Array" soapenc:arrayType="xsd:string[1]" xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"> <item>620186368</item> <item>620186369</item> <item>620186370</item> <item>620186371</item> <item>620186372</item> <item>620186373</item> <item>620186374</item> </arg4> <arg5 xsi:type="xsd:string">This is a common message</arg5> </ns1:dispatchWithTracking> </soapenv:Body> </soapenv:Envelope> So you can see my array elements are really short, a simply telephone number. When the request comes into the Handler (i'm using the axis stable version 1.1), when i try to do an Long length = message.getContentLength(), my Tomcat3 server prints out a nice OutOfMemoryException, so i can't discard the long messages. A working solution is to use a Servlet Filter in tomcat versions upper to 4.1, but i can't choose those versions to work... A wrong solution is to improve the tomcat JVM memory, because if a malicious person sends a a bigger request we will have the same problem. Another working but not valid solution (my software architecth don't like it) is to modify myself the axisServlet to reject the HttpServletRequest. The other things you ask me in your mail, multi-ref and streaming, i dont know what they are, but i think arent related to my problem :S So if anybody has an idea of how to arrange it, i will be very thankful :D -----Mensaje original----- De: Aleksander Slominski [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Enviado el: miércoles, 12 de mayo de 2004 19:33 Para: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Asunto: Re: SOAP message size limit with Axis Lerena, Alberto wrote: >Hi, > >I think the problem isn't the size of the soap message, but the number of elements it >has. > >I had a problem with messages around 1 MB whose were formed by an Array of strings >with 80.000 items, so I had memory DoS problems. > > Alberto, could you specify exactly what wwere those strings (average length), did you disable multi-ref on client and server side, did you turn streamin on on client and server side, dod exception happened on client or server side. >The solution was to implement an Axis Handler to Limit the Request > 80000 is not really that big for an array. thanks, alek >-----Mensaje original----- >De: Jim Murphy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Enviado el: martes, 11 de mayo de 2004 21:48 >Para: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Asunto: Re: SOAP message size limit with Axis > > >Thats a pretty large SOAP message - I hope you have lots of RAM in the >server machine. > >I should say its a large message to parse into a DOM - not much is too >large if you can stream parse it in one pass. > >Jim Murphy >Mindreef, Inc. > > >Miller, Janet wrote: > > >>I will be getting one message of that size every minute. >> >>I am new to Web Services, so it will take awhile before I can try it. >>Also, the Web Service is not available yet. >> >>-----Original Message----- >>From: Nelson Minar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >>Sent: Tuesday, May 11, 2004 3:25 PM >>To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>Cc: Miller, Janet >>Subject: Re: SOAP message size limit with Axis >> >> >> >> >> >>>I will be accessing a Web Service written using Axis.
