NumberFormatException while making Web Service Call through HTTP Server

[tej...@hotmail.com]

Hi,

#1. We have a web service implemented on Websphere App Server 5.1 and we are successfully able to invoke it from a client application when we use the AppServer URL directly - for example: http://<<appServerURL>>:9080/MyWebApp/services/MyService

#2. We have also setup an IBM HTTP Server that routes all requests to the App Server - this is working if we try to invoke our web application - for example: http://<<webServerURL>>/MyWebApp

Now the problem:
If we try to invoke the web service hosted on the App Server (described in #1 above) via the HTTP Server (described in #2 above) using the following URL:
http://<<webServerURL>>/MyWebApp/services/MyService the client is receiving a NumberFormatException (included below). However, we can see that the web service is being invoked successfully. Somehow, the response is "getting lost" by the time it reaches the client.

Any help/tips/direction regarding this would be much appreciated.

Hi

I assume you have genned the plugin
Change the plugin-cfg.xml file to Debug level and see what the request is trying to do from Web Server to the App Server.

Secondly enable full trace on your web service
