JR44988: CATCH EVENT DOES NOT CATCH EVERY EXCEPTION THROWN BY A SERVICE

Version 8.0.1 Fix Pack 1 for the IBM Business Process Manager products

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In Ajax service I have used an SQL execute Statement which
  fetches some data from the DB2 database table. A catch
  event was added to this activity.
  
  The problem is that the catch event does not catch every
  exception.
  
  For example, In db2 table column there is a square like
  character.
  When I try to fetch this character from a db2 table column I get
  an exception as follows:
  
  com.lombardisoftware.core.TeamWorksException: The data " " is
  not legal for a JDOM character content: 0x1a is not a legal XML
  character.
  

Local fix

• n/a
  
  However, during processing of the error boundary event. The
  engine tries to serialize the received exception into
  tw.system.error and there an exception occurs because of the
  invalid character. So if this invalid character wasn't there
  the error handling would be executed normally.
  These invalid errors should normally not occur in a real life
  system what we see here is an artificial test scenario.
