    While running a JAX-WS application a
    ConcurrentModificationException error may occur.

    Here is an example error:
    
    java.util.ConcurrentModificationException

    This problem may occur if multiple JAX-WS clients are running
    in the same Java Virtual Machine and all of the clients use
    the same JAX-WS handler list.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The JAX-WS runtime sorts the handler chain. If multiple
    clients are using the same chain, a
    ConcurrentModificationException error may occur.
    
    The JAX-WS runtime is changed to use a copy of the handler
    chain in the code that sorts the handler chain.  This change
    avoids the error.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix pack 7.0.0.9.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
