After a runtime upgrade, JAX-RPC WebServices files show an "Invalid Character" compilation error

Troubleshooting


Problem

Attempts to generate JAX-RPC WebServices from a WSDL file that contain non-ASCII characters result in an "Invalid Character" compilation errors shown in IBM Rational Business Developer.

Symptom

The following steps reproduce the problem:

  1. Develop a WSDL file that contains non ASCII characters (for example, diacritic characters used in the Danish language)
     
  2. Develop a JAX-RPC WebService from this WSDL, targeting IBM WebSphere Application Server v7 or higher
     
  3. Open the files with the Java editor in Rational Business Developer and you will find that the diacritic characters do not show correctly:

    and there are compilation errors for each such diacritic character:

     Syntax error on token "Invalid Character",, expected
