APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When the JAX-WS WS-Security runtime returns a SOAP fault in
  response to a SOAP 1.2 message, the xml:lang attribute is
  missing from the env:Text element in the returned SOAP fault
  message.
  
  For example, the SOAP fault includes:
  
  <env:Reason>
  <env:Text>faultText</env:Text>
  </env:Reason>
  
  Following is an example of the Reason/Text element that the
  SOAP fault should include:
  
  <env:Reason>
  <env:Text xml:lang="en-US">faultText</env:Text>
  </env:Reason>

  ****************************************************************
  When the WS-Security runtime encounters an error in a web
  service, a SOAP fault message is returned to the client
  application.
  
  In response to SOAP 1.2 requests, the JAX-WS WS-Security
  runtime must return SOAP faults that conform to the following
  specification:
  
  http://www.w3.org/TR/soap12-part1/
  
  When the JAX-WS runtime returns a SOAP fault in response to a
  SOAP 1.2 request, the xml:lang attribute is missing from the
  env:Text element that is required by the specification.
  
  The following example is a well-formed SOAP 1.2 fault:
  
    <env:Fault>
     <env:Code>
       <env:Value>env:Sender</env:Value>
       <env:Subcode>
        <env:Value>m:MessageTimeout</env:Value>
       </env:Subcode>
     </env:Code>
     <env:Reason>
       <env:Text xml:lang="en">Sender Timeout</env:Text>
     </env:Reason>
     <env:Detail>
       <m:MaxTime>P5M</m:MaxTime>
     </env:Detail>
    </env:Fault>
  
  The following is an example of the errant Reason/Text element
  that is returned in the SOAP 1.2 fault by the JAX-WS
  WS-Security runtime:
  
     <env:Reason>
       <env:Text>Sender Timeout</env:Text>
     </env:Reason>
  
  The env namespace is http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope
  The xml namespace is http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace
  

Problem conclusion

• The WS-Security runtime added the Text element to the Reason
  element in the SOAP 1.2 fault, but did not add the xml:lang
  attribute to the Text element.
  
  The runtime was updated to add an xml:lang attribute to the
  Text element when returning a SOAP 1.2 fault.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 7.0.0.17.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
