Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS users.                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: SOAP Fault issued if <wsa:Action>       *
  *                      element contains additional namespaces  *
  *                      or attributes.                          *
  ****************************************************************
  A SOAP request is sent to CICS using WS-Addressing.  DFHPIA1 is
  invoked to process the WS-Addressing elements within the
  message.
  
  In this case the <wsa:Action> element contains additional
  namespace declarations.  DFHPIA1 does not account for these
  namespaces when trying to determine if the <wsa:Action> value
  matches the SOAPAction value from the HTTP headers.  This
  results in a SOAP fault being incorrectly returned to the client
  with a faultcode of wsa:ActionMismatch.
  

Problem conclusion

• DFHPIA1 has been changed to make sure the <wsa:Action> element
  can be successfully processed by CICS regardless of any
  additional namespaces or attributes present on that element.
