PK67361: CREATING A WSDL CONTAINING ATTRIBUTES SHOW UP IN THE LANGUAGE CONTAINER STRUCTURE BUT NOT IN THE OUTBOUND REQUEST.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Running DFHWS2LS at Mapping Level 1.2 for a WSDL containing
  attributes.  Fields for the attributes correctly appear in the
  Language Container Structures produced but in a Trace with
  PI=ALL shows the outbound request with no attributes set, so
  the request produces incorrect output.  The attributes were
  defined as:
  .
  <xsd:attribute fixed="R" name="class" type="xsd:string"
  use="required" />
  .
  The problem lies in DFHPIII.  If the attribute is defined as
  'fixed' then the value wasn't being output at all.  This was
  being done because there shouldn't be a need to send the value
  as the receiver can imply what the value is anyway.  However, it
  seems in this case of also having use="required" set that CICS
  needs to be supplying the attribute in the output SOAP message.

  * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS users.                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: XML attributes with 'fixed' values are  *
  *                      not included in outbound SOAP messages  *
  *                      generated by CICS.                      *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  A program invokes a WEBSERVICE for which the WSDL document
  includes an XML attribute with a 'fixed' value (i.e. an XML
  constant). The SOAP message generated by CICS does not include
  the attribute, even if the WSDL specifies that the attribute is
  required. This may result in problems if the target web service
  does not assume that the fixed value is implicitly present in
  the SOAP message.

Problem conclusion

• DFHPIII has been changed to include XML attributes with fixed
  values in SOAP messages generated by CICS.
