IT18714: MISSING DECLARATION OF "XS" NAMESPACE PREFIX USED IN XSI:TYPE

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The Graphical Data Mapper can omit to declare the namespace
  binding for the "xs" prefix that has been used in a xsi:type
  attribute added to output XML element for a mapping to an
  element cast to a base XML schema type, eg xs:base64Binary.
  The issue occurs when generating the map to an XQuery executable
  with product specific extensions.
  

Local fix

• Since the "xs" prefix is reserved there is no option to add a
  user definition and a product fix is required.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  All users of IBM Integration Bus V10.0 who use the Mapping node
  with Graphical Data Maps that output elements cast to base 'xs'
  types.
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  z/OS, MultiPlatform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  A Mapping node using a Graphical Data Map that has a mapping to
  an output element that is defined to have an xs: type, for
  example xs:base64Binary, by casting a xs:anySimpleType or
  xs:anyType to that ofbv a specific XML schema type might output
  an invalid XML document. The XML will be invalid because it does
  not declare a URL binding for the "xs" namespace prefix used in
  the  xsi:type attribute value on the type cast output element.
  
  There are a number of resource name changes between WebSphere
  Message Broker and IBM Integration Bus Version 9.0.  For details

  tools.mft.doc/bb23814_.htm
  

Problem conclusion

• The Graphical Data Map internal generation from the .map file is
  corrected to ensure that the xs namespace is declared when used
  in an xsi:type attribute.
