Hello, I tried to post the following to the soap.apache list with no luck, You are my last hope :) When using tomcat(3.2.1) to serve soap requests everything works fine. When apache(1.3.17) is added to the picture I get the follwing stack dump. Is it possible that mod_jk.so is stripping whitespace. That is what it sounds like. When apache is removed from the picture, everything works as per usual. BTW, we are using ajp13 for protocol ... org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: White space is required between the public identifier and the system identifier. at org.apache.xerces.framework.XMLParser.reportError(XMLParser.java:1056) at org.apache.xerces.framework.XMLDTDScanner.reportFatalXMLError(XMLDTDScanner. java:651) at org.apache.xerces.framework.XMLDTDScanner.scanExternalID(XMLDTDScanner.java: 1198) at org.apache.xerces.framework.XMLDTDScanner.scanDoctypeDecl(XMLDTDScanner.java :1104) at org.apache.xerces.framework.XMLDocumentScanner.scanDoctypeDecl(XMLDocumentSc anner.java:2192) at org.apache.xerces.framework.XMLDocumentScanner.access$000(XMLDocumentScanner .java:86) at org.apache.xerces.framework.XMLDocumentScanner$XMLDeclDispatcher.dispatch(XM LDocumentScanner.java:776) at org.apache.xerces.framework.XMLDocumentScanner.parseSome(XMLDocumentScanner. java:381) at org.apache.xerces.framework.XMLParser.parse(XMLParser.java:948) at org.apache.soap.util.xml.XercesParserLiaison.read(XercesParserLiaison.java:8 5) at org.apache.soap.rpc.Call.invoke(Call.java:157) at samples.stockquote.GetQuote.main(GetQuote.java:103) Exception in thread "main" [SOAPException: faultCode=SOAP-ENV:Protocol; msg=<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <TITLE>400 Bad Request</TITLE> </HEAD><BODY> <H1>Bad Request</H1> Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.<P> Client sent malformed Host header<P> <HR> <ADDRESS>Apache/1.3.17 Server at soap.broadjump.corenetworks.com Port 80</ADDRESS> </BODY></HTML> ] at org.apache.soap.rpc.Call.invoke(Call.java:167) at samples.stockquote.GetQuote.main(GetQuote.java:103) Sorry if this is off topic, but it appears to be an apache/mod_jk issue.
