PH17526: WEB SERVICE RECEIVING SOAPFAULT("WSSE:INTERNALERROR") WHEN PROCESSING SPECIFIC FIELDS

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• You have a Webservice request that usually completes
  successfully however depending on the attributes/fields passed
  in the payload you get the following error:
  INVOKE WEBS - INVREQ, RESP2=00000006
  WEBSERVICE ERROR.  DFHWS-BODY FOLLOWS:
             |<SOAP-ENV:Body><SOAP-ENV:Fault><faultcode>wsse:Int|
             |ernalError</faultcode><faultstring>Internal Server|
             | Error</faultstring></SOAP-ENV:Fault></SOAP-ENV:Bo|
             |dy>                                               |
  When you remove the WSSE Security Header ( <wsse:Security>) the
  Webservice works just fine and you encounter no errors, however
  you need to run with this security header.

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: SOAP Fault with faultcode               *
  *                      wsse:InternalError is created when CICS *
  *                      attempts to sign a SOAP message.        *
  ****************************************************************
  A PIPELINE has been configured in CICS to use WS-Security to
  sign SOAP messages.  Some of the time the attempt to sign the
  message can fail and a SOAP Fault with faultcode
  wsse:InternalError is created.
  
  The problem is caused by an invalid freemain of a buffer that
  the CICS WS-Security code was using for a number of different
  text areas.  When the storage area gets reused the original
  data gets overwritten.  This leads to an error when calling
  DFHXUCAN and an XSECException is produced.  This exception
  results in a SOAP Fault being created.

  WSSEEnv  serializeNode  C14N  TFXMC14n  setInput
  XMLStringManager
  

Problem conclusion

• The CICS WS-Security code has been updated to prevent this
  invalid freemain from taking place.
