Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of WebSphere Application Server   *
    *                  Toolkit v6.1.1 and Rational Application     *
    *                  Developer v7.0                              *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: If a WSDL contains a service name       *
    *                      containing a hyphen character then      *
    *                      webservice client code generation       *
    *                      will fail.                              *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    If a WSDL contains a service name containing a hyphen
    character then webservice client code generation will fail.
    
    For example:
    
    <wsdl:service name="_-Test_MyService">
     <wsdl:port name="_-Test_MyServiceSoapBinding"
    binding="tns:_-Test_MyService_WSSoapBinding">
      ...
     </wsdl:port>
    </wsdl:service>
    
    will cause an error during Proxy code generation.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Hyphens will now be removed from the service class name used
    during Proxy code generation to ensure that the right service
    class name is located for introspection.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    the WebSphere Application Server Toolkit fixpack 6.1.1.8 and
    Rational Application Developer fixpack 7.0.0.8.  Please refer
