Error description

We receive a NoClassDefFoundError exception on a MTOM service
endpoint that is for UTF-16.

The scenario is as follows:

- Create a MTOM service endpoint configured for UTF-16
- Attempt to contact the client

Note: There is no error using the identical scenario with
UTF-8

The root of the problem is the web service engine was not able
to locate the UTF-16 MTOM attachment.

Problem conclusion

The NoClassDefFoundError is only a symptom of the problem and
was caused by the the attachment not being located.

The UTF-16 MTOM attachment was not found
due to a flaw in the engine code associated with finding
attachments when the encoding is not UTF-8.  The web service
runtime is corrected to ensure that attachments are properly
found for all supported encodings.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix pack 7.0.0.5.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
