Error description
An incoming webservice message may contain xml elements that are defined as null. An example is inQName within the following message: ----------------------------------- <s:Envelope xmlns:a="http://www.w3.org/ 2005/08/addressing" xmlns:s="http:// schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"> <s:Header /> <s:Body> <RetQName xmlns="http://tempuri.org/"> <q:inQName i:nil="true" xmlns:i= "http://www.w3.org/2001/ XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:q= "http://tempuri.org/" /> </RetQName> </s:Body> </s:Envelope> ---------------------------------- The JAX-WS engine that receives the message may fail with a NullPointerException error. The NullPointerException will indicate the location where the exception occured. Here is an example from the FFDC log: Caused by: org.apache.axis2.jaxws.wrapper.impl.JAXBWrapperException: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.axis2.jaxws.wrapper.impl.JAXBWrapperToolImpl.unWrap(J AXBWrapperToolImpl.java:97) at org.apache.axis2.jaxws.marshaller.impl.alt.DocLitWrappedMethodMa rshaller.demarshalRequest(DocLitWrappedMethodMarshaller.java:259 ) ... 28 more Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.axis2.jaxws.utility.PropertyDescriptorPlus.get(Proper tyDescriptorPlus.java:139) at org.apache.axis2.jaxws.wrapper.impl.JAXBWrapperToolImpl.unWrap(J AXBWrapperToolImpl.java:90) ... 29 more

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: IBM WebSphere Application Server V7.0 users * * of JAX-WS web services * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: If a message contains an XML element * * that is defined as null, the JAX-WS * * runtime may fail with a * * NullPointerException error. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Install a FixPack containing this APAR * **************************************************************** An incoming webservice message may contain XML elements that are defined as null. An example is inQName within the following message: ----------------------------------- <s:Envelope xmlns:a="http://www.w3.org/ 2005/08/addressing" xmlns:s="http:// schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"> <s:Header /> <s:Body> <RetQName xmlns="http://tempuri.org/"> <q:inQName i:nil="true" xmlns:i= "http://www.w3.org/2001/ XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:q= "http://tempuri.org/" /> </RetQName> </s:Body> </s:Envelope> ---------------------------------- A nil element, like inQName, is unmarshaled to a null Java object by the JAX-WS runtime. In some cases, the JAX-WS engine may fail with a NullPointerException. The root cause of the exception will indicate a problem in a class named PropertyDescriptorPlus. Here is an example exception: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.axis2.jaxws.utility.PropertyDescriptorPlus.get(Proper tyDescriptorPlus.java:139) at org.apache.axis2.jaxws.wrapper.impl.JAXBWrapperToolImpl.unWrap(J AXBWrapperToolImpl.java:90) ... 29 more The webservice runtime class, PropertyDescriptorPlus, has an invalid check that is causing the NullPointerException.
Problem conclusion
The PropertyDescriptorPlus class was corrected to remove the invalid check. The NullPointerException will no longer occur, and the data will be unmarshaled correctly. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 7.0.0.5.
