SOAP namespace soapenv vs soap-env
807606Apr 2 2007 — edited Apr 2 2007Please forgive the corsspost but I received no joy in the XML forum.
I've had a SOAP messaging system which has been humming along nicely for a couple of years. The recent DST change prompted me to upgrade the JRE to 1.3.1_19 (I know it's old but it was working). The system started failing. Some debugging found that some of my messages had my expected namespace of
<soap-env.....
BUT some had
<soapenv....
The system sends messages for some legacy systems. The part of the system which failed read the incoming data from a socket and searched for the <soap-env. If this was present the message was handled one way. Not present it was handled a different way. The namespace changing caused this fragile system to break. OK that's been handled but what I need to know is why this happened. Here are some "facts" that I believe to be true....
The SOAP related jars were not updated when the JRE was updated.
The messages are failing are being generated by this machine (not from the outside world).
Any thoughts would be incredibly helpful.
Thanks as always
