CS10.5- Error when calling the listNodes with false partialData parameter

I am testing CS10.5 web services. I have a test method that calls listNodes method in DocumentManagement service:

List<Node> lll = docManClient.listNodes(11005, true);

The method alwasy throws a SOAPFaultException with the following message:

com.sun.xml.ws.fault.ServerSOAPFaultException: Client received SOAP Fault from server: Error loading Node.VersionInfo Please see the server log to find more detail regarding exact cause of the failure.

The server log also shows: Error loading Node.VersionInfo

However the method will return a list of nodes without sny problem if the second argument is false.

Does anyone have any ideas about this?

Thanks in Advance.

I have seen similar errors when trying to use the CS 10 version of CWS ("les-services") with CS 10.5 - which is not supported. The name of the new version supported with 10.5 is "cws".

So first thing I'd check is to make sure you are using the new version of CWS for 10.5 (ie. "cws" instead of "les-services"). The old "les-services" should not be used at runtime with 10.5 (although it still ships for some legacy reasons due to the 64-bit changes in 10.5). What is the endpoint of the service you are using?

If you have CWS set up in IIS then it should be something like:

http://<servername>/cws/DocumentManagement.svc

Otherwise, if you are using Tomcat then it should be something like:

http://<servername>/cws/services/DocumentManagement

***The default Tomcat URL should be:

http://<servername>:8080/cws/services/DocumentManagement

I missed the port number (8080) in my previous post.

Jason,

Thank you. You are right. I did not install cws.war and was using les-services with CS10.5. It works after I remove les-services.war and install cws.war. I noticed that there are some differences between les-services and cws.war. Is there a documentation about the differences between them?

Thanks,

The main differences you will see as an end user is that a number of data types in the WSDLs were updated from an int to a long (to support the 64-bit data IDs in CS 10.5). Other than that everything should be pretty much the same as it was before. And more importantly, applications built against the old WSDLs will still continue to work when pointing to the new WSDLs in 10.5.

There are also some differences in the back end with the communication from the CWS application to Content Server. These differences are what would cause the errors you were seeing and is the reason the old les-services version is not supported at runtime with 10.5.

The new CWS documentation for 10.5 does cover some of the differences, although doesn't get into the lower level technical details of what exactly changed. The main changes are in the GenerateSourceAPI part. If you are really eager to see the exact changes you can take a look at what the GenerateSourceAPI looked like in CS 10 and then compare that to 10.5.

Thank you, Jason.

Hi Xiankun,

Did you examine the server logs as it suggests?

Specifically, have a look at the thread/connect logs of the Content Server instance it’s pointing to.

Hi Kyle,

I did not examine the server logs. It works after I installed and used cws.war.

Thanks,
