  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When you update the JAX-RPC import      *
  *                      binding and the application             *
  *                      contains a custom web module, the       *
  *                      update process fails even if            *
  *                      the endpoint is valid. The custom web   *
  *                      module is modified by                   *
  *                      mistake and fails with a                *
  *                      NullPointerException error.             *
  *                      This error occurs because the web       *
  *                      service endpoint goes                   *
  *                      through all the servlets in the         *
  *                      application when it is                  *
  *                      updated. If there is a custom servlet   *
  *                      in the application, the                 *
  *                      process might cause the following       *
  *                      NullPointerException error              *
  *                      in the FFDC output when the custom      *
  *                      servlet does not have an                *

  When you update the JAX-RPC import binding endpoint by using a
  script or in the administrative console, you receive a
  NullPointerException error that prevents the modification to
  be finished correctly.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is available for IBM BPM V7.5.1.1 that passes the custom
  web module so that the endpoint can be updated and there is no
  NullPointerException error.
