Error description

• Abstract:
  Attempts to invoke the menu Java EE ? prepare For Deployment or
  publish an application that contains JAX-RPC Web Services result
  in missing JAX-RPC deployment code, using IBM Rational
  Application Developer or IBM Rational Software Architect for
  WebSphere v 8.5.1.
  
  Problem:
  
  Note: This problem affects only IBM Rational Application
  Developer and Rational Software Architect for WebSphere v 8.5.1,
  it does not affect not any previous versions.
  
  These steps reproduce the problem:
  
  1. Create an EAR with version 1.4
  
  2. Add a Dynamic Web project with version 2.4.
  
  3. Add the class com.Bean1 with the following  code:
  
  package com;
  
  public class Bean1 {
      private String name;
  
      public String getName() {
          return name;
      }
  
      public void setName(String name) {
          this.name = name;
      }
  
  }
  
  Add the other class com.Service1 with the following code:
  
  package com;
  import com.Bean1;
  
  
  
  public class Service1 {
  
      public Bean1 op(Bean1 b){
          return b;
      }
  
  }
  
  4. Generate a JAX-RPC service from Service1, keeping the slider
  to the level of: 'Assemble'.
  
  5. The Service Endopint Interface is generated.
  
  6. Right-click on the Web Project.
  
  7. Choose: Java EE ? Prepare for deployment.
  
  Results:
  
  No additional code is generated.
  
  Expected:
  
  Files with suffix _Ser, _Deser, _Helper should be generated for
  the class com.Bean1.
  
  8. Publish to WebSphere Application Server v8.5
  (under Publishing ? Select publishing actions
  the following option must be selected
  Deploy J2EE Modules )
  
  9. Test the Service with the Generic Web Services Client:
  
  10. In the console you see a runtime error:
  
  [1/24/13 18:07:53:836 CET] 00000089 SystemErr     R Caused by:
  java.lang.Exception: WSWS3028E: Error: A _Helper class was not
  found for com.Bean1.
