Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Business Process Management Adv users * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When using XML DataHandler with * * anytype as request parameter in * * the interface, NullPointerException * * may happen. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** In order to process XCI business object, the mediation module for SMO has changed it's behavior from creating a wrapper for the type to directly outputing the AnyType content. This has caused the binding and datahandler to incorrectly handle the business object resulting in exception.
Problem conclusion
This ifix will handle the change on mediation module. And handle that in the XMLdatahandler. Install/Dependency information is available in the readme.txt on FixCentral. When the user goes to the download files page in FixCentral, the readme will be available with the fix package as a separate download. The ifix and readme file can be downloaded in the fix central.
