PK71798: JAX-RPC WIZARD - ADD NAMESPACE MAPPING - BLANK SPACE AFTER THE PACKAGE NAME SHOULD BE IGNORED WHEN CREATING THE _MAPPING.XML

Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software, Version 7.0.0.8
6.1.1.8: WebSphere Application Server Toolkit Version 6.1.1 Fix Pack 8

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• JAX-RPC wizard - add namespace mapping - blank space after the
  package name should be ignored when creating the _mapping.xml
  file
  
  
  If namespace mappings entered either in a properties file or
  in the JAX-RPC wizard contain spaces before and after each of
  the
  namespace URLs and package names, not all of the spaces are
  stripped out.
  
  If the spaces were in a properties file, for example,
  
  line start> http\://addressbook.com/AddressBook/ =
  custom.javapackage.addressbook <end of line
  
  the space after the package
  name is not stripped out, which leads to error message
  
  cvc-complex-type.2.2: Element 'java-type' must have no element
  [children], and the value must be valid.
  
  
  If the blanks spaces are entered in the wizard, none of the
  blanks are stripped out which leads to error message
  
  
  cvc-complex-type.2.2: Element 'namespaceURI' must have no
  element
  [children], and the value must be valid.
  

Local fix

• Take care to remove any blanks when entering
  namespace mappings in the wizard or in a
  properties file.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of WebSphere Application Server   *
  *                  Toolkit v6.1.1 and Rational Application     *
  *                  Developer v7.0                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When a namespace to package entry is    *
  *                      created where either value has a        *
  *                      trailing space then XML validation      *
  *                      fails on the resulting JAX-RPC          *
  *                      mapping file.                           *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  If a namespace to package entry is defined like the following:
  
  namespace = "http://addressbook.com/AddressBook/"
  package = "custom.javapackage.addressbook "
  (notice the extra space at the end of the package)
  
  then the XML validation on the JAX-RPC Mapping file will fail
  as well as the underlying WSDL2Java tooling that will generate
  the Java artifacts.
  

Problem conclusion

• The namespace and package values entered on the webservice
  creation wizard will have all whitespaces trimmed.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  the WebSphere Application Server Toolkit fixpack 6.1.1.8 and
  Rational Application Developer fixpack 7.0.0.8.  Please refer
