Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  IBM WebSphere Application Server version    *
  *                  6.0 users who compress a Simple Object      *
  *                  Access Protocol (SOAP) request message      *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: An exception occurs when enabling a     *
  *                      request compression in the Web          *
  *                      Service component.                      *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The Web Services component enables compression for the SOAP
  envelope or message via the following Java Virtual Machine
  (JVM) properties:
  
  com.ibm.websphere.webservices.http.requestContentEncoding
  com.ibm.websphere.webservices.http.responseContentEncoding
  
  If these properties are enabled, the request might fail with
  the following exception:
  
  com.ibm.ws.webservices.engine.utils.MCUtils
  interceptDeserializationException
  interceptDeserializationException:
  org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The value for attribute
  "xmlns:xsi" must
  end with the matching quote character.
  org.xml.sax.SAXParseException:
  The value for attribute "xmlns:xsi" must end with the matching
  quote
  character.

  ...

  When the request message is compressed and sent to the
  application server, the content-length of the compressed
  request is cached and reused later.  However, this cached size
  does not match the uncompressed body stream data size and
  causes the message data to be truncated.
  

Problem conclusion

• The WebContainer's code was modified to update the
  content-length value with the new decompressed length.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fixpack 6.0.2.41
