  This is a bug with DTP:
  PredefinedDataTypeDefinition.getJavaClassName() is
  returning null. Probably because the Java class name is not
  defined in the DTP
  enablement plug-in's .xmi file. Set java.lang.String class
  name for xml type in all enablements. AmazinglySysbase xmi
  file did have java class name set (also to String).
  

Problem conclusion

• The javaClassName="java.lang.String"
  is added for the XML_TYPE_1 in the xmi file.
  
  This fix will be available in Rational Application Developer
  v7.5.5.2.
