Error description

• When sending a message sending WS-Addressing to a JAX-RPC Web
  Service provider, the HTTP response may encounter an
  IOException when redirection is set on the server for the
  response, leading to the following errors:
  
  SRVE0068E: Uncaught exception thrown in one of the service
  methods of the servlet: FaultServiceSEI.
  Exception thrown : java.io.IOException: Async IO operation
  failed, reason:

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
  *                  Server V6.1 JAX-RPC provider applications   *
  *                  employing WS-Addressing                     *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: An IOException error may occur when     *
  *                      a Web Service provider sends a          *
  *                      response with redirection set on the    *
  *                      server                                  *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:  Install a fixpack that includes this APAR   *
  ****************************************************************
  When the JAX-RPC runtime processes two-way synchronous Web
  service calls that use WS-Addressing, and redirection is set
  on the server side, the HTTP connection may be reset
  prematurely.
  
  When this occurs, an IOException may occur due to attempting
  to access an already closed HTTP connection.
  
  As a result, the following error message may be seen:
  
  IOException, closing the reads: java.io.IOException: Async IO
  operation failed, reason: RC: 107  Transport endpoint is not
  connected
  ...
  

Problem conclusion

• The JAX-RPC runtime was corrected to prevent the premature
  resetting of an HTTP connection for synchronous Web service
  calls. This was fixed in V7.0.0.1.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 6.1.0.33.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
