ClassCastException

[pwp69]

I can't seem to determine the cause of the ClassCastException message I am getting from a web service I am calling with CF8. The message is returned from an internal WebLogic web service.

For the most part it works fine but when I request something that the web service can't handle I get the ClassCastException message. I turned on SOAP logging to get the real cause of the problem but the CCE is messing up my exception handling.

Any ideas what is causing this? Would upgrading to axis 1.4 help?

Any help would be appreciated.

Here's a portion of the stack trace:

The fix I found was to upgrade CF8's Axis from 1.2.1 to 1.4.

I downloaded Axis 1.4 binaries, stopped CF, copied axis.jar, wsdl4j-1.5.1.jar,saaj.jar and jaxrpc.jar to Coldfusion's lib folder and restarted CF.

The ClassCastException didn't arise when testing. One caveat: Applying Coldfusion 8 updaters will revert Axis back to 1.2.1.

Hi

Can you please update us on the version of saaj jar compatible with axis-1.4
