* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: java.lang.StackOverflowError occurs     *
*                      when processing JAX-WS client           *
*                      application's packaged WSDL.            *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
The problem is caused by an issue in the open source WSDL4J
component which is used to parse the packaged WSDL and
associated schema.  WSDL4J does not process circular
dependencies within the WSDL and schema correctly resulting in
an infinite recursion within the WSDL4J code.
The reason this occurred in version 8 and did not occur in
version 7 is because additional processing of WS-Policy in the
client's packaged WSDL was mandated in the later version of the
JAX-WS specification supported in version 8.  This now
mandates that WS-Addressing WS-Policy in the WSDL is honoured
as a conformance requirement, therefore processing of
the client's packaged WSDL is an additional step in version 8
that was not performed in version 7.

Problem conclusion

The processing of the JAX-WS Client's packaged WSDL for
WSDL and associated schema should not contain circular
dependencies, though the specification does not prohibit this.
It is advisable to resolve the issue by refactoring the WSDL
and associated schema to avoid circular dependencies.

Since the processing of WS-Addressing WS-Policy in the
JAX-WS client's packaged WSDL may not be desirable (since it
is a change of behaviour from previous versions), that
processing can now be disabled by setting the JVM system
property

com.ibm.ws.wspolicy.v7migration.disableClientWSDLWSPolicyProcess
ing

to a value of true.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix packs 8.0.0.14, 8.5.5.12 and 9.0.0.4.  Please refer to the
