  Attempting to retrieve the value from VolatileCData of type
  EmptyCData in order to pass to Java extension function
  results in the following exception:

Problem conclusion

• Nilled elements would have a size less than 1. The algorithm
  was corrected to check the size of the CData before attempting
  to retrieve the value.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  Feature Pack for XML 1.0.0.17. Please refer to the Recommended
