Error description

• For customers who use the old order service framework to
  configure the integration between WebSphere Commerce and
  Sterling Commerce, they may have issue to transfer order in
  case there is null AddressLine in order message. The
  WebSphere Message Broker may fail to validate the XML.
  
  In out of box CommerceFoundation.xsd, for AddressLine tag
  following are the attribute values:
           minOccurs="0"
           maxOccurs ="unbound"
           nillable="false" (It's not defined in XSD so default
  value will be "false").
  
  So if the AddressLine tag is generated as null value in the
  order transfer message, for example:
  
                <CommerceFoundation:AddressLine />
  Or
                <CommerceFoundation:AddressLine xsi:nil="true"/>
  
  An error will be seen as following during the validation:
  
  Attribute 'xsi:nil' must not appear on element
  "CommerceFoundation:AddressLine", because the '{'nillable'}'
  property of "CommerceFoundation:AddressLine" is false.
  This fix
  is to resolve ComposeOrderCmdImpl not checking for null Address
  

Local fix

• Disable WebSphere Message Broker XML validation function. None
  

Problem summary

• USERS AFFECTED:
  WebSphere Commerce users who are using integration scenarios
  between WebSphere Commerce and Sterling Commerce with old order
  service framework.
  
  PROBLEM ABSTRACT:
  ComposeOrderCmdImpl does not perform check for null AddressLine
  before composing order transfer message.
  
  BUSINESS IMPACT:
  This is impacting the order integration scenarios between
  WebSphere Commerce and Sterling Commerce
  
  RECOMMENDATION:
  

Problem conclusion

• The AddressLine element will be checked in WebSphere Commerce
  end to see if it's null before being sent to WebSphere Message
  Broker. The null addressLine element will be removed during the
  message composition by ComposeOrderCmdImpl.
