IT27116: APPLICATIONS FAIL TO START WITH STATIC LIBRARIES HAVING MULTIPLECOPIES OF IDENTICAL SCHEMA FILES

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• An Application which includes multiple static Libraries
  containing more than one identical copy of a schema file, in the
  exact same file path relative the Application or static Library,
  can be developed and added to a BAR file in the Toolkit, with no
  errors, although there will be warnings like:
  
     Global element '<element name>' exists more than once within
  the Application '<name>'. Exists in: '<path1>', '<path2>'.
  
  However on deployment of the BAR file to the ACE runtime the
  Application will fail to start reporting an error of the form:
  
     BIP5024E: The creation and preprocessing of the XML schemas
  has failed.
     BIP4395E: Java exception:
  'org.apache.xerces.xni.XNIException'
     BIP1096E: The source '<BAR>' has been deployed but there were
  one or more failures which may mean the deployed resources will
  be unable to execute
  

Local fix

• The issue can be avoid by removing the duplicated schema so that
  only one copy exists in the Application and its included static
  Libraries.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  All users of App Connect Enterprise V11.0 who use Applications

  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  An Application which includes multiple static libraries
  containing more than one identical copy of a schema file, in the
  exact same file path relative to the Application or static
  library, can be developed and added to a BAR file in the
  Toolkit, with no errors, although there will be warnings similar
  to:
  
     Global element '<element name>' exists more than once within
  the Application '<name>'. Exists in: '<path1>', '<path2>'.
  
  However on deployment of the BAR file to the ACE runtime the
  Application will fail to start, reporting an error of the form:
  
     BIP5024E: The creation and preprocessing of the XML schemas
  has failed.
     BIP4395E: Java exception:
  'org.apache.xerces.xni.XNIException'
     BIP1096E: The source '<BAR>' has been deployed but there were
  one or more failures which may mean the deployed resources will
  be unable to execute
  

Problem conclusion

• The ACE runtime processing of deployed XML schema files in
  static libraries included in an Application has been modified to
  avoid duplication caused by identical copies of a schema file,
  in the exact same file path relative to the Application or
  Libraries.
