Error description

• IBM WebSphere DataPower Appliance
  
  Firmware 4.0.2.8
  
  When a Web Service Proxy (WS-Proxy) is configured to enforce a
  WS-Security Policy (WS-Policy) and the WS-Proxy is configured
  with a Non-XML response type, the WS-Proxy may still try to
  parse the response message received from the backend. This will
  result in a parser error. This issue may be observed when using
  the 'TransportBinding' assertion in the WS-Policy.
  

Local fix

• If this issue is encountered while using the WS-Policy
  'TransportBinding' assertion, as a possible workaround, the
  'TransportBinding' assertion can be removed from the WS-Policy
  and ensure an HTTPS Frontside handler (FsH) is used with Local
  Endpoint Handler. The SSL Proxy Profile used by the HTTPS FsH
  should be configured per the 'TransportBinding' assertion.
  

Problem summary

• The user was observing a parse error when a Web Service Proxy is
  configured to enforce a WS-Security Policy and is also
  configured for a Non-XML response type. Specifically, this issue
  may be observed when a 'TransportBinding' assertion was being
  used in the WS-Security Policy. This behavior was caused by an
  error in the Non-XML response processing.
  
  Fix will be available in a future major release.
  

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix
