PK65059: THE WS-SECURITY WIZARD NEEDS A DEFAULT NAME IN SIGNINGINFO - NOT BLANK.

Rational Software Architect, Version 7.0.0.7
Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software, Version 7.0.0.7
6.1.1.7: WebSphere Application Server Toolkit Version 6.1.1 Fix Pack 7

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The JAX-RPC Web services created by the Web services
  security wizards in WebSphere Application Server
  Toolkit v6.1 do not place default names in the bindings
  generated for signingInfo and other elements
  such as Transform.  Instead, they are generated
  with blank names in violation of the
  DTDs for ibm-webservices-bnd.xmi and
  ibm-webservicesclient-bnd.xmi.
  
  The wizards will be corrected to generate default names
  for these fields.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of WebSphere Application Server   *

  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The Web Services Security Wizard does   *
  *                      not provide name for signingInfo in     *
  *                      webservice.xml                          *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  When using Web Service Security Wizard to add signature,
  encryption, or authorization for a web service/client, the
  correspondent entry in the xml metadata misses the "name"
  attribute. This does not comply with the DTD file.  As a
  result, the WebSphere Application Server administrative console
  cannot be used to edit these security features, once the
  project is published to the server.
  

Problem conclusion

• With the fix of this APAR, a default name will be given to
  these elements in the xml file, and these security features
  can be edited via the WebSphere Application Server
  administrative console.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  the WebSphere Application Server Toolkit fixpack 7.1.1.7 and
  Rational Application Developer fixpack 7.0.0.7.  Please refer
