ksoap2 : java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: size <= 0 while making a http.call

Question

I want to connect to a dot.net based Webservice with my Android 4.03 Device using Ksoap2.

My problem is when i call the soap request i get this exception:

11-16 08:35:08.649: W/System.err(6392): java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: size <= 0
11-16 08:35:08.649: W/System.err(6392): at java.io.BufferedInputStream.<init>(BufferedInputStream.java:94)

11-16 08:35:08.649: W/System.err(6392):     at at.jesenko.eDoc.MainActivity$1.run(MainActivity.java:48)

The Code im using

    final String url = "http://server:9007/DWService?wsdl";
    final String NAMESPACE = "http://tempuri.org/";
    final String METHOD_NAME ="Login";
    final String SOAP_ACTION="http://tempuri.org/Login";

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    Thread loginThread = new Thread(){

            @Override
            public void run() {

                try {


                    SoapObject Request = new SoapObject(NAMESPACE, METHOD_NAME);
                    Request.addProperty("userName", "demo");
                    Request.addProperty("password", "demo1234");
                    Request.addProperty("organization", "Peters Engineering");

                    SoapSerializationEnvelope Envelope = new SoapSerializationEnvelope(
                            SoapEnvelope.VER12); 
                    Envelope.dotNet=true;
                    Envelope.setOutputSoapObject(Request);


                    HttpTransportSE ht = new HttpTransportSE(url);
                    ht.debug = true;
                    ht.call(SOAP_ACTION, Envelope);

                    SoapObject response = (SoapObject) Envelope.getResponse();
                    final String SessionID = response.getProperty("SessionID").toString();


                runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {

                    public void run() {

                        TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
                        tv.setText(SessionID);

                    }
                });

                } catch (Exception e) {

                    e.printStackTrace();

                }   

            }


    };
    loginThread.start();
}

Here the part of the wsdl file which i want to call:

<wsdl:definitions name="DWService" targetNamespace="http://tempuri.org/">
 <wsdl:types>
  <xsd:schema elementFormDefault="qualified" targetNamespace="http://tempuri.org/">
   <xsd:element name="Login">
    <xsd:complexType>
     <xsd:sequence>
      <xsd:element minOccurs="0" name="userName" nillable="true" type="xsd:string"/> 
      <xsd:element minOccurs="0" name="password" nillable="true" type="xsd:string"/>
      <xsd:element minOccurs="0" name="organization" nillable="true" type="xsd:string"/> 
     </xsd:sequence>
    </xsd:complexType>
   </xsd:element>

I don´t have much expierience with Ksoap and Web-Services so i hope someone could help me solving this problem :)

greetings.

EDIT

i tryed using ?svc instead -> same errors :(

EDIT

Here the Header of the WSDL file maybe my Namespace is false

Hope you can help me ;)

Answer 1

Use like this:

BasicHttpbinding:

                SoapObject Request = new SoapObject(NAMESPACE, METHOD_NAME);
                Request.addProperty("userName", "demo");
                Request.addProperty("password", "demo1234");
                Request.addProperty("organization", "Peters Engineering");

                SoapSerializationEnvelope envelope = new SoapSerializationEnvelope(SoapEnvelope.VER11);
                envelope.dotNet=true;
                envelope.setOutputSoapObject(Request);

                HttpTransportSE ht = new HttpTransportSE(URL);

               try {
                    ht.call(SOAP_ACTION, envelope);  
            final  SoapPrimitive response = (SoapPrimitive)envelope.getResponse();

i have made some changes in your code.

1)

SoapSerializationEnvelope Envelope = new SoapSerializationEnvelope( SoapEnvelope.VER12);

change into

SoapSerializationEnvelope envelope = new SoapSerializationEnvelope(SoapEnvelope.VER11);

2) i have removed this part from your code.

ht.debug = true;

3)

SoapObject response = (SoapObject) Envelope.getResponse();

change into

SoapPrimitive response = (SoapPrimitive)envelope.getResponse();

make sure have you added internet permission in your manifest

        <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

if you didnt get the output by using this the problem might be your wsdl

For more Reference Hope this will help you.

PS.

WsHttpBinding:

     Element e = new Element();
    e.setName("To");
    e.setNamespace("http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing");
    e.addChild(Node.TEXT,
            "your URL HERE");


    Element e1 = new Element();
    e1.setName("Action");
    e1.setNamespace("http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing");
    e1.addChild(Node.TEXT,
            "http://tempuri.org/IService1/HelloTest");

request.addProperty("Celsius", "32");    

// use VER12 instead of VER11
SoapSerializationEnvelope envelope = new SoapSerializationEnvelope(SoapEnvelope.VER12);

envelope.dotNet=true;

// add HederOut to envelope
envelope.headerOut = new Element[] { e, e1 };

envelope.setOutputSoapObject(request);

Reference.

Answer 2

Use Fiddler to track the traffic. Probably the server/service is returning Content-Length: 0 This could be anything, in my case it was Content-type mismatch sent from the client app and expected content-type on the server side. Since the exception clearly indicates that the ByteArrayInputStream received content of length <= 0 from the service.

I hope this will make you investigate more.

Cheers,

Answer 3

Have you checked debugging after this line?

SoapObject response = (SoapObject) Envelope.getResponse();

If you have returned properties by webservice?. Maybe no data it's returned

Use

int arraySize = response.getPropertyCount();

And check the length to know if you are receiving data

I think the argumentException can be produced because you are trying to access the property without checking it here:

final String SessionID = response.getProperty("SessionID").toString();

Test the propertyCount and tell us.

EDIT:

Test this please:

Change the SoapEnvelope from VER12 to VER11

 SoapSerializationEnvelope envelope = new SoapSerializationEnvelope(
                SoapEnvelope.VER11);

Change the webService URL from wdsl to this type (svc):

 String URL = "http://host:8080/HelloWCF/Service1.svc";

Answer 4

my opt: 1.use the newest 3.1.0 ksoap2 jar:http://code.google.com/p/ksoap2-android/wiki/HowToUse?tm=2 2.changed v12 to v11
