Failed to open XML document. Failed to retrieve Public ID

Question

I have a client posting to Weblogic 6.1 server with the help of Apache
SOAP 2.2. The posting works fine if the contents of the SOAP message
is small. But when the contents of SOAP reached more than 11KB, the
following error occurs:
Error: Failed to open XML document. Failed to retrieve PUBLIC id or
SYSTEM id from the document. Decrease the number of char between the
beginning of the document and its root element.
The SOAP document looks like:
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<mn:sMethodName xmlns:mn="sMethodURI">
<batch appid="1">
<employee>
<name>...</name>
<address>...</address>
</employee>
<employee>
<name>...</name>
<address>...</address>
</employee>
</batch>
</mn:sMethodName>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
The Max Post Size in Weblogic is set to (-1).
The program is able to handle less than 50 items of
<employee>.....</employee>. The error occurs when more than 50 items
are used. The problem is that our application should be able to handle
more than 1000 items of <employee>....</employee>.
My questions are:
1. How should I configure weblogic to solve the problem?
2. How should I configure the deployment of Apache SOAP to solve the
problem?
Pls advise. Thanks.

Answer 1

One can deduce from the error message that the parser is looking for the
<?XML...?> portion of the document because that is where the SYSTEM and
PUBLIC ids are found in the document.

Sorry, but I didn't get what you mean. I thought that was handled by theApache
SOAP API already? And if it couldn't see the XML document header, then whydoes
this only happens when the document size is large? It doesn't haveproblems whenever
the document size is small.
