PH21941: INCORRECT PROCESSING OF WS-ADDRESSING ELEMENTS

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• You are receiving the following messages in trace:
  
  
  PI 1F05 PIA1  *EXC* ADDRESSING_EXCEPTION
  Error at offset +0000392 in document body.End tag does not match
  start tag. Error occurred at end of data.Previous input text
  AddressingContext>.
  
  
  The WS-Addressing
  elements are not processed correctly. CICS is attempting to add
  the elements back into the response message. Part of this
  process includes removing the mustUnderstand attribute. This
  exists on the <Action> element. DFHPIA1 corrupts the data when
  removing the attribute. When the complete set of WS-Addressing
  headers get parsed, the error is raised because of the
  corruption.
  

Local fix

• Omit the mustUnderstand attribute.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS Users.                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: SOAP Fault issued if empty              *
  *                      WS-Addressing element contains          *
  *                      mustUnderstand attribute.               *
  ****************************************************************
  A SOAP request is sent to CICS using WS-Addressing. DFHPIA1 is
  invoked to process the WS-Addressing elements within the
  message. The mustUnderstand attribute is checked and removed if
  it is present on one of the elements. The logic to check
  and remove the mustUnderstand attribute doesn't work well for
  an empty element. This results in a SOAP fault being incorrectly
  returned to the client with a faultstring of "DFHWSADH error
  detected."
  

Problem conclusion

• DFHPIA1 has been changed to make sure the empty element can be
  successfully processed by CICS regardless of mustUnderstand
  attributes present on that element.
