PM50791: WSDL Java generation produces unresolvable errors

Rational Business Developer Fix Pack 8 (7.5.1.8) for 7.5.1

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Environment: Windows
  
  Product name: IBM? Rational? Business Developer
  
  Program Version    :  7.1.0.5
  Description.
  Java code with compilation errors is generated from EGL Client
  Interface code which contains no syntax errors and is in turn is
  generated from a validated WSDL. The EGL code is error free but
  the Java generator does not fully complete the generation
  process and the Java code then contains errors where some
  classes cannot be resolved.
  
  Example error message at generation:
  IWN.VAL.9997.e 0/0 Generation failed for Web Service
  Binding:esb_internal_porttype.
  IWN.VAL.9998.e 0/0 Exception occurred:
  java.lang.NullPointerException
  IWN.VAL.9997.e 0/0 Generation failed for test_WSDL.
  
  NB: The same WSDL can be generated with no errors in RBD
  v8.0.1.2.
  
  This has been identified as a defect with extensions where the
  base is a primitive type like ie
              ?xsd:complexType name='attributeCT'?
                  ?xsd:simpleContent?
                      ?xsd:extension base='xsd:string'?
                          ?xsd:attribute name='name'
  type='xsd:string' use='required'/?
                      ?/xsd:extension?
                  ?/xsd:simpleContent?
              ?/xsd:complexType?

  A NullPointerException is thrown while generating an EGLDD
  to websphere and it has a SOAP Binding with a wsdl file that
  has an extension base that is primitive.
