Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  All users of WebSphere Application Server   *
*                  v6.1 and v7.0 who use federated             *
*                  repositories (virtual member manager).      *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Special character such as dot and       *
*                      comma in the repositoryId cause a       *
*                      NullPointerException to be thrown in    *
*                      createSchema() API.                     *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
If there was a special character in the repositoryId such as
id="LDAP_AD:389" in wimconfig.xml, the createSchema() API call
would throw a NullPointerException, similar to:
