JR41994: INCORRECT NAMESPACE WHEN USING COMPLEX DATA TYPE FROM TOOLKIT

Version 7.5.1 Fix Pack 1 for the IBM Business Process Manager products

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• For Inbound Web Services in BPM 7.5.1, when a complex data
  type from a toolkit is used in the response, the generated
  WSDL attaches an incorrect namespace prefix to this complex
  type.
  
  For example in the soap response below:
  
  <soapenv:Envelope
  xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
  xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
  <soapenv:Body>
  <findOpenJobsResponse xmlns="http://BPMUNIT/HRJobsWS.tws">
  <ns1:jobReqs xmlns:ns1="http://TYPESTK">
  <ns1:item>
  <ns1:requistionID>ENG3-QA-TEST</ns1:requistionID>
  <ns1:jobTitle>Automation Test Engineer</ns1:jobTitle>
  <ns1:jobGrade>7</ns1:jobGrade>
  <ns1:minSalary>44000.0</ns1:minSalary>
  <ns1:maxSalary>65000.0</ns1:maxSalary>
  <ns1:status>OPENED</ns1:status>
  </ns1:item>
  </ns1:jobReqs>
  </findOpenJobsResponse>
  </soapenv:Body>
  </soapenv:Envelope>
  
  The namespace of this is incorrect for the jobReqs element,
  since it is defined in the http://BPMUNIT/HRJobsWS.tws
  namespace and should have that namespace, not http://TYPESTK,
  which is where its array type is defined.

Problem conclusion

• The problem was fixed to use the correct namespace.
  
  The fix is available as a part of the JR42012 ifix package
  (http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1JR42012)
  and needs to be installed as follows:
  - Install JR42012 on both Process Designer and Process
  Center/Server using IM
  - On Process Center/Server run bpmprofileUpgrade as outlined in
  http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27022245#recove
