Error description

• When you use shared libraries and share your assets
  by-reference between Service Component Architecture (SCA)
  modules and add the shared libraries to the applications, the
  shared libraries are included in the application class loader
  scope. You can successfully create a data object in an
  application according to the message type that is defined in
  the shared library,  as described in the  ﾢ￢ﾂﾬ ﾓBy-reference sha
  of Java binaries, XML schemas, and interface definitions in
  WebSphere Process Server (using Shared Libraries) ﾢ￢ﾂﾬ   technot
  http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21322617).
  
  However, if you add the shared libraries to the server, these
  libraries are not included in the application scope class
  loader; they are included in the server scope class loader
  instead. As a result, you cannot create a data object in an
  application according to the message type that is defined in
  the shared library. You receive  ﾢ￢ﾂﾬ ﾓnull ﾢ￢ﾂﾬ   from the BOFa

Problem conclusion

• A fix is available for IBM BPM V7.5.1.1 that finds the WSDL
  message type definition in the server scope class loader and
  creates the data object successfully.
  
  On Fix Central (http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral), search
  for JR49304:
  1. Select IBM Business Process Manager with your edition from
  the product selector, the installed version to the fix pack
  level, and your platform, and then click Continue.
  2. Select APAR or SPR, enter JR49304, and click Continue.
  
  When you download fix packages, ensure that you also download
  the readme file for each fix. Review each readme file for
  additional installation instructions and information about the
  fix.
  

Temporary fix

• Add the shared libraries to the applications instead of to the
  server.
