PM26530: A JAX-RPC Web service from WebSphere 5.1 may fail when deployed in later versions due to xsd:datetime and xsd:date

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

A JAX-RPC Web service created using WSAD5.1.2 with
WebSphere Application Server V5.1 runs correctly when run
on WebSphere Application Server V5.1.

However when the application is deployed on a later version of
WebSphere Application Server (for example 7.0.0.13), the
application may fail due to problems with the xsd:date and
xsd:datetime values.

This problem will only occur if the WSDL file contains
elements that extend the xsd:date or xsd:datetime elements.
This is an uncommon scenario.

****************************************************************
A JAX-RPC Web service created using WSAD 5.1.2 with
WebSphere Application Server V5.1 runs correctly when run
on WebSphere Application Server V5.1.

However when the application is deployed on a later version of
WebSphere Application Server (example 7.0.0.13), the
application may fail due to problems with the xsd:date and
xsd:datetime values.

This problem will only occur if the WSDL file contains
elements that extend the xsd:date or xsd:datetime elements.
This is an uncommon scenario.

WebSphere Application Server Version 5.1 conforms to the
JAX-RPC 1.0 Specification. Later versions of WebSphere
Application Server conform to the JAX-RPC 1.1 Specification.
The Java mapping associated with the extension of simpleTypes
changed between these two specifications. Thus this problem
will only occur if the JAX-RPC application was developed in
WebSphere Application Server V5.1.

Problem conclusion

The JAX-RPC runtime is designed to accommodate both JAX-RPC
1.0 and JAX-RPC 1.1 applications.  However in this particular
scenario, the JAX-RPC runtime failed to locate and use the
existing makeString and makeValue methods necessary to
correctly serialize and deserialize the xsd:date and
xsd:datetime values.

In addition, if the JAX-RPC application is redeployed (using
the wsdeploy tool), the makeString and makeValue methods may
be incorrectly removed.

The JAX-RPC runtime is changed to detect and use the
makeString and makeValue methods.  The result is the correct
serialization and deserialization of the xsd:date and
xsd:datetime values.

The JAX-RPC wsdeploy code is changed to correctly generate the
makeString and makeValue methods when a WebSphere Application
Server V5.1 JAX-RPC application is deployed.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix packs 6.1.0.37 and 7.0.0.17.  Please refer to the
