APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

A JAX-RPC or SCA web service can receive JMS Text messages from
a JMS transport.  If the inbound text message contains
characters that are represented by double byte UTF-8
characters (example is an umlaut), the following error may
occur:

org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Invalid byte 2 of 2-byte
UTF-8 sequence.

Problem conclusion

The root of the problem is incorrect translation code in the
JAX-RPC engine.  The inbound message was not being parsed as a
UTF-8 byte stream.

The JAX-RPC engine is corrected to obtain the character
encoding from the incoming message's Content-Type Mime header.
The JAX-RPC engine reads the message using the obtained
character encoding.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix packs 6.1.0.29 and 7.0.0.9.  Please refer to the
