Got "Reponse is not well-formed XML" error when calling FormDataIntegration web service

[Former Community Member]

Hi,

I'm using Windows Server 2008 + LiveCycle Server ES2 (Reader Extensions) + ASP.NET

This problem only happened when I run the ASP.NET program with the licensed version of the server, (which i installed form the CD provided)

However, there is no problem in my development environment with the trial version downloaded from Adobe website, the import data was successful and a correct PDF form can be returned.

My question is that whether there is a problem within the LiveCycle services? or there is missing component that needs to be installed?? Thanks

After call the importData of FormDataIntegration, I got below error

Response is not well-formed XML.
System.InvalidOperationException: Response is not well-formed XML. ---> System.Xml.XmlException: Root element is missing.

I checked in LiveCycle's jboss log, I found below errors:

At first glance, it looks like the document is not making it to the LiveCycle server.  How are you attaching the document to the request (base64, MTOM, File URL)?

it's base64, here's the codes i called, any hints?

            FormDataIntegration.FormDataIntegrationService dataIntClient = new FormDataIntegration.FormDataIntegrationService();

            dataIntClient.Url += "?blob=base64";

            dataIntClient.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(account, password);

            FormDataIntegration.BLOB inXMLData = new FormDataIntegration.BLOB();

            inXMLData.binaryData = xmlData;

            FormDataIntegration.BLOB inPDFForm = new FormDataIntegration.BLOB();

            string pathPDF = Path.Combine(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory, "bin\\ReplySlipByEmail.pdf");

            FileStream fsPDF = new FileStream(pathPDF, FileMode.Open);

            int lenPDF = (int)fsPDF.Length;

            byte[] bytePDF = new byte[lenPDF];

            fsPDF.Read(bytePDF, 0, lenPDF);

            inPDFForm.binaryData = bytePDF;

            FormDataIntegration.BLOB result = dataIntClient.importData(inPDFForm, inXMLData);

            return ApplyUsageRightsToPDF(result.binaryData, account, password, LCCertName);

Finally fixed by installing service pack 2, actually the issue was addressed in SP1, which fixed this bug:

- The Forms Data Integration service returns a ClassDefNotFoundException when it is not

used in conjunction with the Forms or Output service.
