Error description

When a JAX-RPC application tries to deserialize a SOAP message
with an Axis-style attachment, the following exception may be
observed in the JVM log:

The following is an example of a SOAP message with an
Axis-style attachment:

<soapenv:Envelope
xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
         <soapenv:Body>
            <p935:attachment
xmlns:p935="http://example.ibm.com">
                  <dataHandler
href="cid:dataHandler=19620176631.1278648856640.IBM.WEBSERVICES@
examplehost"/>
...

------=_Part_0_1801349982.1278648856656
Content-Type: application/octet-stream
Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary
Content-Id:

<dataHandler=19620176631.1278648856640.IBM.WEBSERVICES@exampleho
st>
...

The element in the root part (SOAP Envelope) has an href
attribute (in the above example, that element is
"dataHandler"); the value of the href corresponds to the
value of the Content-ID header in the MIME part, which
represents the attachment. These characteristics are what make
this attachment Axis-style.

Problem conclusion

The JAX-RPC runtime was changed to properly deserialize
Axis-style attachments.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix pack 7.0.0.13.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
