Error description
Creation of a JAX-RPC client failed when the HTTP Request accessing the provider's WSDL was redirected with the redirected URL switching protocol from HTTP to HTTPS. A typical FFDC associated with the issue is shown below: Exception:javax.wsdl.WSDLException SourceId:com.ibm.ws.webservic es.multiprotocol.AgnosticServiceFactory.getDefinitionFromURL ProbeId:281 Reporter:com.ibm.ws.webservices.multiprotocol.Agnos ticServiceFactory@fd7a80f0 javax.wsdl.WSDLException: WSDLException: faultCode=PARSER_ERROR: Problem parsing 'http://***/***Web/services/******************?wsdl'.: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: White spaces are required between publicId and systemId. at com.ibm.wsdl.xml.WSDLReaderImpl.getDocument(WSDLReaderImpl.java: 2337) at com.ibm.wsdl.xml.WSDLReaderImpl.readWSDL(WSDLReaderImpl.java:241 2) at com.ibm.ws.webservices.multiprotocol.AgnosticServiceFactory.getD efinitionFromURL(AgnosticServiceFactory.java:501) at com.ibm.ws.webservices.multiprotocol.AgnosticServiceFactory.crea teService(AgnosticServiceFactory.java:164) : Caused by: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: White spaces are required between publicId and systemId. at org.apache.xerces.parsers.DOMParser.parse(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderImpl.parse(Unknown Source) at com.ibm.wsdl.xml.WSDLReaderImpl.getDocument(WSDLRead erImpl.java:2327) ... 53 mor ------------------

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Application Server users of * * JAX-RPC or JAX-WS Web Services * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: javax.wsdl.WSDLException occurs * * when accessing a Web Service * * provider's WSDL that is redirected * * across protocols * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** When creating a Web Service client, the provider's WSDL is read. If the provider's WSDL is accessed via the HTTP Protocol then a redirection may occur, instructing the client to access a different URL. By default, this redirection will occur only if the protocol, for example HTTP or HTTPS, does not change. If the redirected URL has a different protocol then the redirection fails. This default behaviour comes from the use of the JRE's java.net.* classes themselves and is deliberate since switching protocols with no warning to the user could represent a security issue.
Problem conclusion
Retrieval of a Web Service provider's WSDL can be configured to automatically follow HTTP redirects that switch protocol to HTTPS by configuring the JVM system property com.ibm.wsdl.followRedirects to a value of true. The default behaviour remains unchanged. The fix for this APAR is targeted for inclusion in fix packs 8.5.5.18 and 9.0.5.5.
