PK70250: THE FEATURE PACK FOR WEB SERVICES DOES NOT CORRECTLY SCOPE THE EXECUTION OF JAX-WS HANDLERS WHEN WILDCARDS ARE USED.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The current feature pack code does not correctly scope the
  execution of JAX-WS handlers based upon specified patterns as
  described in the specifications.  In particular, a wildcard is
  not evaluated correctly unless it appears in the terminating
  position of the value for a service-name-pattern or
  port-name-pattern.  This prevents those patterns from matching
  when they otherwise should, and thus prevents the scoped
  handler(s) from executing properly.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of WebSphere Application Server   *
  *                  Feature Pack for Web Services using         *
  *                  wildcards in the scoping pattern            *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: JAX-WS handlers with some wildcard      *
  *                      scoping patterns may not be executed.   *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  It the scoping pattern for the JAX-WS handler used the asterisk
  * wildcard character in the scoping pattern and the * was not
  at the end of the pattern, the handler might not be executed.
  
  An example of a failing scoping pattern:
  <jws:service-name-pattern
  xmlns:ns1="http://handlerdeploy.jaxws">ns1:*SimpleService</jws:s
  ervice-name-pattern>
  

Problem conclusion

• The scoping was updated to handle an embedded wildcard in the
  scoping for JAX-WS handlers.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fixpack 6.1.0.23.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
