Error description

• Abstract:
  
  Attempts to use the parameter 'Allow vendor extensions' option
  in Rational Application Developer v8.0.x doesn't work as
  expected and the generated code doesn't respect this option.
  
  Problem:
  
  'Allow vendor extensions' is an option that exists for the
  JAX-WS web service tool wizard in Rational Application Developer
  v8.0.x.  This option specifies whether to accept custom
  extensions for functionality that are not specified by the
  JAX-WS specification. As a result the customer has no choice but
  to make their WSDL fully compliance with WS-I BP specification,
  if they want to generate Web Service classes from a WSDL through
  Rational Application Developer v8.0.x.
  
  Local fix:
  
  You may use the '-extension' parameter through the 'wsimport'
  utility in command line since 'wsimport' provides this option
  and the generated codes respect this option.  The wsimport tool
  can be run from the [WebSphere Application Server installation
  directory]/bin/ directory.

  The -extension attribute was not added to the wsimport
  command for top down java when the "Allow vendor extensions"
  checkbox is checked.
  

Problem conclusion

• The -extension attribute is now being added to the
  underlying wsimport command.  The fix for this APAR is
  included in Rational Application Developer v8.0.4.1.
