APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The APAR will relax the fix the following issue when a special
  character is used within the 'name' attribute.
  
  AdminConfig.create('StringNameSpaceBinding', x,
  '[[stringToBind "XXX"] [nameInNameSpace
  "Example/test"] [name "Example/test1"]]')
  
  WASX7015E: Exception running command:
  exception information:
   com.ibm.websphere.management.exception.InvalidAttributeValExcep
  tion:
  ADMG0012E: The attribute value for attribute
  Example/test1 is not valid.
  
  This APAR will allow a forward slash '/' to be used within the
  name attribute
  

Local fix

• Do not use a '/' in the name attribute or create the
  StringNameSpaceBinding from the admininstrative console.

  To avoid changing wsadmin behavior in the fix stream, the
  default wsadmin behavior after this fix is applied is
  unchanged (does not allow special characters within the "name"
  attribute). This fix will introduce a new system property
  to allow user to disable the name validation on
  StringNameSpaceBinding object.
  

Problem conclusion

• The fix will introduce a new config service system property to
  allow user to disable name validation in
  StringNameSpaceBinding object.
  
  In order to set StringNameSpaceBinding name with special
  characters, the name validation must be disabled
  by setting a Java system property:
  
  com.ibm.websphere.management.configservice.validateNames=false
  
  When using wsadmin in connected mode, this property should be
  set at the deployment manager server using the
  AdminTask.setJVMSystemProperties command, or through the admin
  console.
  
  When using wsadmin in LOCAL mode (conntype=none), the property
  can be passed in as a javaoption:
  -javaoption
  "-Dcom.ibm.websphere.management.configservice.validateNames=fals
  e"
  
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 7.0.0.17.  Please refer to the Recommended
  Updates page for delivery information:
