Service Pack 3 causing java.io.IOException: Unexpected end of POST data

[Scott Sikora]

I have just installed Service Pack 3 and succeeded in breaking my XML/HTTP
code. I get the following;
java.io.IOException: Unexpected end of POST data.

I can recreate this with the standard XML over HTTP example,
StockClient/StockServlet.

Any ideas what I did wrong?

Thanks in advance,
S

Sorry this does not bear out in my testing:

http://www.weblogic.com/docs51/examples/xml/http/

1. 5.1 with sp3 in the client env and the server env and ONLY sp3 in my
classpath in addition to the weblogic environment. Meaning I have no
other third party packages, xml parses etc.

Everything runs fine.

How does your environment differ.

Thought I might post back to the group the answer I got from Weblogic

support. Seems like SP3 has some problems...

FR: laurentm
CASE_ID_NUM: 182198
MESSAGE:

Hello Scott,

I have been assigned to your case.
The POST data errors the server thrown are a regression introduced into
service pack 3.
Our dev. team is working to fix this bug, the fix will be released in a
future service pack.
Could you move back to SP2 to see if these errors go away. So, I could
check if this is the same error that is a known issue.
If it is not the case I would do further investigation.

Please let me know how it works.
