Error description
When specifying xsi:nil="true" for the TerminationTime element in a Renew operation in WS-Notification, a non schema compliant response is received and the TerminationTime for the subscription is unchanged. An FFDC with the following stack is produced: CWSJN5052E: A null termination time was received in a Renew request. at com.ibm.ws.sib.wsn.webservices.impl.inbound.targets.Subscription ManagerImpl.renew(SubscriptionManagerImpl.java:397) at com.ibm.ws.sib.wsn.webservices.impl.inbound.provider.SMInvokerIm pl.invoke(SMInvokerImpl.java:131) at com.ibm.ws.sib.wsn.webservices.impl.inbound.provider.SMProviderI mpl.invokeTargetService(SMProviderImpl.java:135) at com.ibm.ws.sib.wsn.webservices.impl.inbound.provider.WSNProvider Impl.invoke(WSNProviderImpl.java:140) at com.ibm.ws.sib.wsn.webservices.impl.inbound.provider.SMProviderI mpl.invoke(SMProviderImpl.java:101) The RenewResponse does not report any fault but is also not schema compliant because no TerminationTime element is present (which has a minOccurs of 1).

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server WS-Notification * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Specifying xsi:nil="true" for the * * TerminationTime element in a Renew * * operation with WS-Notification does * * not work. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The WS-Notfication implementation failed to handle nil TerminationTime when specified on a renew request. The specification states explicitly that a nil TerminationTime should be interpreted as no TerminationTime, but the WebSphere Application Server implementation was requiring it to not be nil.
Problem conclusion
This APAR resolves the problem by changing the code to expect nil TerminationTime elements. When a nil TerminationTime is set for a Renew operation, the subscription is updated to not have any termination time. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 8.5.0.2.
