JR31297: 6.2.0: Web service imports incorrectly create SOAP messages

Download Description

JR31297 resolves the following problem:

ERROR DESCRIPTION:
A Web Services Description Language (WSDL) definition from Axis 1.4 has an input with type soapenc:long. However, the Web service import component creates a SOAP message that has that input as type xsd:long.

This problem is isolated to the Web service component. Other code, such as BOXMLSerializer, produce the correct types in XML format.

WSDL definition
 :
   <wsdl:message name="retrieveByIDRequest1">          
      <wsdl:part name="contactID" type="soapenc:long"/>
   </wsdl:message>                                      
    :

where, xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"

SOAP message

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<soapenv:Header  
soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"/>
<soapenv:Body                                                                
soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
  <p660:retrieveByID xmlns:p660="urn:AxisContactHandler">
      <contactID href="#id0"/>
  </p660:retrieveByID>
  <multiRef id="id0" soapenc:root="0"
   soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"        
  xsi:type="xsd:long"                                                      
  xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">11181
  <href  xsi:type="xsd:anyURI"/>
  <id xsi:type="xsd:ID"/>
  </multiRef>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

Expected output message

<multiRef

        id="id0"
        soapenc:root="0"

soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/
"
-->     xsi:type="soapenc:long"

xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
      11181
    </multiRef>


Actual output message

    <multiRef                                                  
       id="id0"                                                
       soapenc:root="0"                                        
                                                               
soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/
"                                                              
-->        xsi:type="xsd:long"                                  
                                                               
xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">      
     11181
   </multiRef>

LOCAL FIX:
None

USERS AFFECTED:
WebSphere Process Server and WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus v6.1.0.3, V6.1.2.2, V6.2.0 and earlier users who use RPC/literal-encoded WSDL interfaces with soapenc types.


PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Web service imports generate SOAP requests using the incorrect type attribute (xsd:long instead of
soapenc:long).


RECOMMENDATION:
None

PROBLEM SUMMARY:
When serializing SOAP messages, the Service Component Architecture (SCA) Web service JAX-RPC binding creates xsi:type attributes for all elements in the WSDL interfaces. By default, the attribute types use the XML Schema Definition (XSD) schema, which overwrites the explicit soapenc type that is declared in the WSDL definition.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
Apply the interim fix for 6.1.2.0, 6.1.2.1 or 6.1.2.2 to resolve this problem, or upgrade to one of the following fix pack levels: WebSphere Process Server or WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus V6.1.2.3, or V6.2.0.1.
