APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• Abstract:
  
  Attempts to use the J2C Bean wizard to generate a J2C Bean for
  IMS inbound connection might result in a StackOverflowError.
  
  Problem:
  
  This issue only occurs in IBM Integration Developer with the IBM
  Process Server Test environment installed
  
  To reproduce the issue:
      1) Open J2EE perspective
      2) Click on File -? New
      3) On New Wizard, select J2C -? Next
      4) Select IMS TM Resource Adapter 12.1.0 -? next
      5) Select the connector RAR file,
  C:\IBM\IntegrationDesigner\v8.0\ResourceAdapters\ims15\imsico121
  0.rar
      6) Select IBM Process Server 8.0 as the target server -?
  Next
      7) Select Inbound -? Next
      8) Specify JNDI name = ims/inboundConnection -? Next
      9) The wizard displays  Please wait. Initializing the agent.
  Eventually it will fail with a StackOverFlowError.
  
  In the workspace log, you will see the following error:

  Local fix:
  
  1) Start the J2C Bean wizard, select, IMS and go to the 'Adapter
  Style' page where the inbound/outbound choice is presented.
  2) Select 'Outbound' and press Next.
  3) On the 'Scenario Selection' page, select 'IMS COBOL, PL/I or
  C-based
  applications', and press Next.
  4) On the 'Connect Properties' page, just press next.
  5) Press the 'Back' button three times to get back to the
  'Adapter Style' page, then select 'Inbound' and continue on with
  the flow.
