Error description

  • During your load test, when multiple threads serialize the
    same business object to XML, the serialized XML data might be
    incorrect. As a result, you see the following failure in the
    FFDC log file when the incorrect XML data is deserialized:
    
    com.ibm.xml.xci.errors.XCIDynamicErrorException: Attribute
    "xsi:type" was already specified for element "p:SampleType".

    ****************************************************************
    Because business object serialization is not thread safe in
    lazy parsing mode, when multiple threads serialize the same
    business object to XML the xsi:type attribute might be added
    to the XML twice, which causes the failure.
    

Problem conclusion

  • A fix is available for IBM BPM V8.5.5.0 that synchronizes the
    business object when serializing it to avoid the
    multiple-threads issue.
