Error description

  • When using the SDO API for WebSphere Application Server V8.0,
    the precision of a xs:decimal field is not maintained if there
    are trailing zeros (0) after the last significant digit. For
    example, a value of 1.00 is changed to 1.

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED:  Users of the SDO API in IBM WebSphere       *
    *                  Application Server V8.0 and WebSphere       *
    *                  Process Server                              *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Precision of xs:decimal field is not    *
    *                      maintained when passed between SCA      *
    *                      service components                      *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    Precision of xs:decimal field is not maintained when passed
    between Service Component Architecture (SCA) service
    components. When the users set the value of xs:decimal field
    with something like "2.00", it was serialized to XML as "2".
    So when the value was deserialized by the other SCA component,
    the precision, "0.00" was missing.
