Error description

  • The following exception occurred when handling a JAX-RPC
    request containing whitespace in a WS-Coordination context:
    java.lang.ClassCastException:
    com.ibm.ws.webservices.engine.xmlsoap.Text incompatible with
    javax.xml.soap.SOAPElement
    at com.ibm.ws.wscoor.CoordinationContext
    .extractFromSOAPHeader(CoordinationContext.java:221)
    at com.ibm.ws.wscoor.CoordinationContext
    .extractFromSOAPHeader(CoordinationContext.java:154)

    *                      thrown when processing whitespace in    *
    *                      a WS-Coordination context in a          *
    *                      JAX-RPC request                         *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    The algorithm that parses the WS-Coordination
    CoordinationContext on an inbound JAX-RPC request assumed that
    the Iterator returned by SOAPElement.getChildElements()
    contained elements that were all of type
    javax.xml.soap.SOAPElement. This is incorrect and caused the
    ClassCastException when whitespace was encountered.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The algorithm was modified to tolerate whitespace when parsing
    the WS-Coordination context.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix packs 7.0.0.43, 8.0.0.14, 8.5.5.12 and 9.0.0.4.  Please
