Hi guys I have code that works when I call it from a stand-alone application, but when I call it from within JBoss, I get a NPE from the Web service I am calling. The problem seems to be newline or space characters between the XML tags of the SOAP message. When I use the stand-alone code I get the following output from SOAPMessage().writeTo(System.out) <SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">&... format="tiff"><account_nr>62001869538</account_nr></cheque></items></searchDocDataRequest></SOAP-ENV:Body></SOAP-ENV:Envelope> | | 13:41:03,491 INFO [STDOUT] <env:Envelope xmlns:env='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/'><env:... | 13:41:03,491 INFO [STDOUT] </f_nr> | 13:41:03,491 INFO [STDOUT] <userid>cnt_usr | 13:41:03,491 INFO [STDOUT] </userid> | 13:41:03,507 INFO [STDOUT] <items><cheque format='tiff'><account_nr>62001869538 | 13:41:03,507 INFO [STDOUT] </account_nr> | 13:41:03,507 INFO [STDOUT] </cheque> | 13:41:03,507 INFO [STDOUT] </items> | 13:41:03,523 INFO [STDOUT] </searchDocDataRequest> | 13:41:03,523 INFO [STDOUT] </env:Body></env:Envelope> The only difference being the prefix and the newline/space. Does anybody have any idea on how I can remove this? Reards Alfred View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4241183#...
