Error description
The client implement the Java-based Web Services by using Axis2: Java-based open source web services engine and sample pipeline configuration files - basicsoap11javaprovider.xml. The client DID NOT specify a CCSID when generating the WSBIND file. . When an Axis2 PIPELINE is used, the WSBIND CCSID is not specified, however it uses the default as the Web Services Assistant, which is 037. The application data is now processed as if it is in CCSID 037 which causes all of the DBCS characters to get corrupted.
Local fix
Generate the WSBIND file using CCSID=937
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS Users * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Axis2 Provider pipeline corrupts DBCS * * characters during sending of response. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** An Axis2 provider PIPELINE is being used in a CICS system that is using a DBCS EBCDIC codepage for LOCALCCSID (eg 937). A WSBIND file has been generated without specifying the CCSID option. The application is executed as part of the pipeline and creates a container containing the application data. This container is created using the LOCALCCSID value set in the SIT. As the pipeline processes the response it incorrectly uses 037 instead of the LOCALCCSID value to convert the application data which leads to the data becoming corrupted.
Problem conclusion
Changed WebServiceResource.java, JsonWebServiceResource.java, CICSUtils.java, CICSAxis2ApplicationHandler.java, Controller.java and DFHPIWR to correctly determine the CCSID to be used when converting the application data. Changed DFHPITH requester case to ensure that the correct codepage is used on the WRITE_REQUEST call to DFHWBCL.
