PK92392: CANNOT BROWSE WSDL WHEN USING "/" AS CONTEXT ROOT FOR JAX-WS APPLICATION.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Description:
  ============
  When using "/" (slash) for context root of the web
  application that contains JAX-WS based application on top of
  the Feature Pack for Web Services, the WSDL cannot be retrieved
  using http://[host]:[port]/[Service]?WSDL
  
  This result in an error :
  Error: Generic Error.
  Could not generate WSDL!
  

Local fix

• Use non empty context root (/test for example),
  http://[host]:[port]/[some_context_root]/[Service]?WSDL
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  IBM WebSphere Application Server Feature    *
  *                  Pack for Web Services users of JAX-WS       *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When a JAX-WS web service is deployed   *
  *                      using "/" as context root, a client     *
  *                      cannot access the web service.          *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:  Install a fix pack that contains this APAR. *
  ****************************************************************
  When a JAX-WS web service is deployed using "/" as context
  root, the web services runtime doesn't parse the request URL
  correctly.  This causes errors in following situations:
  
  (1) A service client cannot access the service because the
  request URL is parsed incorrectly before dispatching.
  
  (2) Users cannot access generated WSDL file using
  http://host:port/Service?WSDL because the URL is parsed
  incorrectly.
  
  The exact error seen will vary depending on the nature of the
  operation being invoked, but will generally indicate that the
  WSDL could not be generated or found, or the service could not
  be found.
  

Problem conclusion

• The web services runtime is fixed to parse the URLs correctly
  when default context root ("/") is used.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 6.1.0.29.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
