Question

What could be the reason for the following exception from Axis… Http verion used was 1.0.

Read this could be solved if the following property is set

stub._getServiceClient().getOptions().
               setProperty(org.apache.axis2.transport.http.HTTPConstants.CHUNKED,
Boolean.FALSE);

But the above property is applicable only for HTTP version 1.1 as per axis docs.
This property will be ignored by the transport framework if the HTTP version is 1.0.

Any thoughts?

Answer 1

This is was actually the server encountering an Internal 500 Error and returning a HTML respose to the client.
