This section includes configuration information where specific setup steps are needed.
As of January 15, 2010, eBay evaluates the CONTENT-TYPE header against the request payload format. If the CONTENT-TYPE value is incorrect for the payload, the request will fail. Previously, eBay did not validate the CONTENT-TYPE header in requests.
This HTTP header is optional. If you do not submit the CONTENT-TYPE header with your request, eBay will determine the content type from the payload.
The following table lists the correct CONTENT-TYPE header values for HTTP POST request formats:
| Request Payload Format | CONTENT-TYPE Value |
|---|---|
| XML | text/xml |
| SOAP11 | application/soap+xml |
| SOAP12 | text/xml (together with SOAPAction header being sent - value can be anything) |
See Making an API Call for more information about the call format for the File Transfer API.
FileTransferService calls made by a Java SOAP client need to have the HTTP Chunked property set to false.
Add the line as below inside the upload and download method: testStub._getServiceClient().getOptions().setProperty(org.apache.axis2.transport.http.HTTPConstants.CHUNKED, Boolean.FALSE);
Here is a sample method that implements the line above:
public static boolean downloadFile(String fileSaveToPath, String task_ref_id, String file_ref_id)
throws AxisFault, RemoteException, Exception {
String authToken=LMSProperties.getInstance().getAuthToken();
String endPointURL=LMSProperties.getInstance().getFtsEndPointURL();
ServiceClient testStub = new ServiceClient(endPointURL);
testStub._getServiceClient().getOptions().setProperty(Constants.Configuration.ENABLE_MTOM, Constants.VALUE_TRUE);
testStub._getServiceClient().getOptions().setProperty(org.apache.axis2.transport.http.HTTPConstants.CHUNKED,
Boolean.FALSE);
testStub._getServiceClient().getOptions().setTimeOutInMilliSeconds(
LMSProperties.getInstance().getTimeOutInMilliSeconds());
//put in HTTP Headers
...
}
This example assumes that ServiceClient extends the com.ebay.www.marketplace.services.FileTransferServiceStub.UploadFileResponseE generated Stub class
