I am running into a wall here with a SOAP web service call whose results contain a binary image string. I have found several other references to this error on various discussion forums, but none have any replies.
The web service in question accepts some search criteria and returns metadata for various image assets matching the search criteria including a thumbnail of the image in binary format. I have queries against the web service using SOAPSonar and the envelopes being sent and received all appear to be valid. Once I attempt to make the exact same query using ColdFusion, I am getting the following error. ---------- The fault returned when invoking the web service operation is AxisFault faultCode: {http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/}Server.userException faultSubcode: faultString: org.xml.sax.SAXException: SimpleDeserializer encountered a child element, which is NOT expected, in something it was trying to deserialize. faultActor: faultNode: faultDetail: {http://xml.apache.org/axis/}stackTrace:org.xml.sax.SAXException: SimpleDeserializer encountered a child element, which is NOT expected, in something it was trying to deserialize. at org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.SimpleDeserializer.on StartChild(SimpleDeserializer.java:145) ... ---------- I have worked with SOAP web services via CF on numerous occasions without issue. The only difference here is the inclusion of the binary image string. Has anybody seen or dealt with something like this?
