Re: Problems with YAJL and/or SoapUI

Jon

Make sure that SOAPUI is set to send 'application/json' (so apache wont
make conversion in any mode)
and SOAPUI really sends UTF-8 and not windows-1252. In SOAPUI it is
probably two different parameters.

Then yajl_stdin_load_tree should be set to read with utf-8 = *on.

True, but Jon said his header specified a content type of
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded"

If the data is being truly converted to EBCDIC and YAJL is still
complaining, then I would presume it has to be a CCSID issue - given that
braces are commonplace in a JSON string and they are almost always
different hex values in different CCSIDs, I think it is worth making sure
that the job CCSID is set in stone. If Apache is converting to EBCDIC and
CCSID 37 (for example) and the job is running with CCSID 273 it probably
isn't going to work.

The content-type should be application/json. When it is that then the
Apache server won't do any conversions on it (or at least it
shouldn't).

Most other content types will do ASCII to EBCDIC conversions automatically.

Just a thought (I admit I have only scanned your post rather than read
it
in detail).

You don't appear to have specified cgiConvMode in your Apache config,
so I
think it will default to MIXED

have you tried forcing the conversion mode and CCSID situation?

Example

DefaultNetCCSID 819
CGIJobCCSID 285
CGIConvMode EBCDIC

Posted this on HTTPAPI list but no takers so far. Hoping someone here
can
offer a suggestion or three.


I have been testing a JSON based web service with SoapUI and all was
going well.

_But_ in order to make my code work initially I had had to use:

root = yajl_stdin_load_tree ( *Off: errMsg );

In other words I had to tell YAJL that my data was in EBCDIC. This
didn't make sense to me because I thought I was sending UTF8 but I
needed
it working and thought that resolution could wait for another day. Got
the
whole service working beautifully.

But two things happened

1) "another day" has arrived and

2) A problem with SoapUI has meant my request configuration was not
saved. Tried to set it up again and now I cannot get a single *%^$ thing
working.


If I tell SoapUI that the data is "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
-
which I am pretty certain is what it was set as - then I get a message
back
from YAJL saying "unsupported content-type [application/json;
charset=utf-8]"

OK - data _is_ UTF8 so I changed the *Off in the load tree to *On. But
now YAJL simply blows up during the tree load.

I have tried every combination of content setting and *On/*Off
combination I can think of and nothing is working. Even if I get past
the
load tree blowing up then YAJL blows up subsequently when trying to
locate
the first node.

Although I did play with the Apache config (trying to fix the
UTF8/EBCDIC issue) I'm certain it is now back where it was and, other
than
the noted *On/*Off changes mentioned above, the program has not been
changed from the working version.

Apache config is straightforward as set by the wizard with changes
only
to the ScriptAlias - it looks like this:

1 # Configuration originally created by Create HTTP Server

32 Deny From all
33 </Directory>
34 <Directory /www/jonrest/htdocs>
35 Order Allow,Deny
36 Allow From all

Hopefully someone with more experience in this area can point me in
the
right direction because right now I'm clueless.
