APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• With Java 7, wsgen generates a Throwable type when a class
  exposes a method that throws an Exception. The Throwable type
  may cause the WebSphere Application Server JSP compiler to
  fail.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  All IBM WebSphere Application Server users  *
  *                  of JAX-WS.                                  *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When invoked with Java 7, the wsgen     *
  *                      tool may generate an incorrect WSDL.    *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:  Install a fix pack that contains this       *
  *                  APAR.                                       *
  ****************************************************************
  When invoked with Java 7, the wsgen tool may generate extra
  types and fields for an exception:
  <xs:complexType name="Exception">
  <xs:sequence>
  <xs:element name="message" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0" />
  <xs:element name="suppressed" type="tns:throwable"
  nillable="true" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" />
  </xs:sequence>
  </xs:complexType>
  <xs:complexType name="throwable">
  <xs:sequence>
  <xs:element name="stackTrace" type="tns:stackTraceElement"
  nillable="true" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" />
  </xs:sequence>
  </xs:complexType>
  <xs:complexType name="stackTraceElement" final="extension
  restriction">
  <xs:sequence />
  </xs:complexType>
  With Java 6, the wsgen tool correctly generates:
  <xs:complexType name="Exception">
  <xs:sequence>
  <xs:element name="message" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
  </xs:sequence>
  </xs:complexType>
  The "throwable" type generated with Java 7 when used in
  conjunction with JavaServer Pages (JSPs) can cause the JSP
  compiler to fail.
  

Problem conclusion

• The wsgen tool was fixed so that it generates the correct
  "exception" type with Java 7.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 8.0.0.4. Please refer to the Recommended Updates
