    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Incorrect encoding in outbound SOAP     *
    *                      messages when using WS-Security.        *

    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    CICS is being used either as a web service provider or
    requester.  The pipeline configuration file specifies that
    WS-Security is to be used with the Web Service. When CICS builds
    the outbound SOAP message (the response in provider mode or the
    request in requester mode) the encoding specified in the XML
    prolog is "UTF8".  This encoding is incorrect. It should be
    "UTF-8".  The incorrect encoding can cause problems when the
    message is parsed by the recipient.
    

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

  • FIX AVAILABLE BY PTF ONLY
    

Comments

  • WSSEEnv has been changed to specify the correct encoding of
    "UTF-8" in the XML prolog.
