APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When a new operation is added to a JAX-WS web service,
  and clients are not updated, the JAX-WS clients might stop
  working with an error message similar to this:
  
  Exception in thread "main" javax.xml.ws.WebServiceException:
  The Endpoint validation failed to validate due to the
  following errors:  :: Invalid Endpoint Interface ::  :: The
  operation names in the WSDL portType do not match the method
  names in the SEI or Web service implementation class.
  

Local fix

• Re-generate the client with the local wsdl.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  Users of IBM WebSphere Application Server   *
  *                  V7.0 running JAX-WS proxy clients.          *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: If a remote service WSDL is updated     *
  *                      to add operations, existing clients     *
  *                      may fail WSDL validation.               *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:  Install a fix pack containing this APAR if  *
  *                  you need to add operations to JAX-WS        *
  *                  services without updating clients.          *
  ****************************************************************
  You might need to add operations to existing web services and
  update deployed clients at a later time.  Default client
  behavior is to validate the operations built into the client
  against the operations in WSDL and fail if they do not match.
  This might interfere with adding operations to existing web
  services.
  

Problem conclusion

• JAX-WS client validation code is changed to examine a JVM
  property, jaxws.ignore.extraWSDLOps.  If there are more
  operations in  the WSDL than built into the client, and this
  property is set to true,  WSDL validation will succeed and the
  client can be invoked.
  
  For more details on how to set the JVM property,
  refer to the article "Java virtual machine custom properties"
  in the Information Center for your WebSphere Application
  Server version and operating system.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 7.0.0.19.In versions 8 and higher, this is fixed by
  PM70361, available in fixpacks 8.0.0.6 and 8.5.0.2.
