NestedSOAPException when using StreamSource

[Former Member]

I am trying to read a SOAP document from a string using the javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource:

StringReader sr = new StringReader("<xml....>");

StreamSource source = new StreamSource(sr);

SOAPPart part = soapmessage.getSOAPPart();

part.setContent(source);

But when it reach part.setContent(source) the following exception is received when running under WAS 6.4:

com.sap.engine.services.webservices.jaxm.soap.accessor.NestedSOAPException: Unable to create message from source.

When running the same code in a standalone appl. it does not throw an exception - seems like SAPs xml parser implementation has an error.

Here is the whole stacktrace:

com.sap.engine.services.webservices.jaxm.soap.accessor.NestedSOAPExcept

ion: Unable to create message from source.

The solution to the above problem is to use a StringWriter and a ByteArrayInputStream as input to the StreamSource.
