Problem while sending/Receiving request using the HttpURLConnection obj

Question

Hi,
We are facing the problem while passing the request in Weblogic.
Looks like there is some problem with Weblogic while sending/Receiving the request using the HttpURLConnection object.
Currently we are migrating 2 applications to WebLogic. Application1 to application2 request should pass.
Below is some example we tried:
"When we send a request to our code using the SSOAdaptor code (which handles the request/session in our application) which is on the SunOne server the request parameters are received by our code successfully. And also in Create User Functionality of application1 we are sending a request to webpass(which is on Sunone Server) using the HttpURLConnection object and the SOAP request is received successfully by the Webpass."
Looks like when we send request (using HttpURLConnection) from a server other than Weblogic to a servlet in a Weblogic the request parameters are received with out issues.
Where as when the request is sent from WebLogic to WebLogic the request parameters are missing some how.
Is there any issue in Weblogic? Please helpus on this.
Thanks,
Nagesh

Answer 1

Hi,
Please find below scenario for testing.
We have tested the SSOAdaptor code (it is the fucntion name which will send the data from source) locally by hittiing the WPS adaptor URL in a Java client program(TestRequest.java) and the request parameters were reaching the WPS Adapter successfully.
Then we have written two test servlets to test the communication between SSOAdaptor(TestServlet.java) and WPS adaptor(WPSServlet.java).
Functionality of TestSevlet: It is sending a request to WPSServelt similar to the way we are doing it in SSOAdaptor.
Functionality of WPSServlet: It will receive the request parameters and write the parameter Map to console.
We have deployed and these two servlets(in a single webapplication) on Tomcat server and the request parameters are reaching the WPSServlet successfully.
Output on Tomcat server:
before sending request
**********************Inside WPS Servlet -- the request Map is:{TypeAcc=[Ljava.lang.String;@14e3f41, ServiceName=[Ljava.lang.String;@1acd47, GMEPortalUserID=[Ljava.lang.String;@19b04e2, UserID=[Ljava.lang.String;@5dcec6, Country=[Ljava.lang.String;@b25b9d}
after sending request
After this we have deployed these two servlets (with in a single webapplication) on the Weblogic server in Dev machine(path: /apps/usmport/domains/usmport/servers/usmport_admin/upload/ssoAdaptor/WEB-INF/classes/com/gm/gmeportal/security/adaptor) and
now the request parameters are not reaching the WPSServlet.
Output on Weblogic Server:
before sending request
**********************Inside WPS Servlet -- the request Map is:{}
after sending request
Looks like there is some problem with Weblogic while sending/Receiving the request using the HttpURLConnection object.
When we send a request to WPSAdaptor using the Old SSOAdaptor code which is on the SunOne server the request parameters are received by WPS successfully. And also in Create User Functionality of Portal we are sending a request to webpass(which is on Sunone Server) using the HttpURLConnection object and the SOAP request is received successfully by the Webpass.
Looks like when we send request (using HttpURLConnection) from a server other than Weblogic to a servlet in a Weblogic the request parameters are received with out issues. Where as when the request is sent from weblogic to weblogic the request parameters are missing some how.
Please find below javs source code used to test this:
