Abstract

Outbound SOAP requests have duplicate namespaces for the same SOAP Element, one with a prefix and one default namespace, after upgrading Liberty from Java 8.

Download Description

PH64615 resolves the following problem:

ERROR DESCRIPTION:
After a Liberty server is upgraded from Java 8 to a newer version, the web services runtime adds the default namespace to SOAP elements that already have a namespace prefix, resulting in two namespaces for the element.

Example:

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
	<SOAP-ENV:Header/>
	<SOAP-ENV:Body>
		<ns0:getSomething xmlns="http://duplicated.namespace/" 
                              xmlns:ns0="http://duplicated.namespace/">
		</ns0:getSomething>
        ...
	</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

PROBLEM SUMMARY

USERS AFFECTED:
Users of IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty Core and Web Services who upgraded from Java 8 to a newer versions.

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Outbound SOAP requests have more than one namespace for the same SOAP Element: one with a prefix and one default namespace. This issue is observed after upgrading from Java 8 to newer versions.

RECOMMENDATION:
Install an interim fix or fix pack that includes this APAR.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
The constructor of the SOAP Element is modified to make sure that the prefix exists in elementQName field when the io.openliberty.saaj.disableDuplicateNS system property is set to true. The default is false.
