Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
*                  Server V7.0 for JAX-WS Web Services using   *
*                  SSL Transport protocol bindings.            *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: If a JAX-WS application has an SSL      *
*                      binding attached to it, the JAX-WS      *
*                      code incorrectly uses the system        *
*                      default SSL settings.                   *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:  Install a fixpack containing this APAR.     *
****************************************************************
If a JAX-WS application has a general SSL binding attached to
it, the JAX-WS code incorrectly uses the system default SSL
settings instead of using the SSL transport bindings. The
JAX-WS code is not honoring the SSL transport bindings. There
is no way for customers to use SSL transport bindings. This
only happens when the client is a managed client and the
client and the server are in different application servers.

Problem conclusion

The JAX-WS code has been updated so that it now correctly
uses the SSL transport bindings. The SSL transport bindings
now take precedence over the system default SSL settings. A
new custom property
com.ibm.websphere.webservices.transport.ssl.loadFromPolicyBindin
g has been created. This property can be set as either a JVM
custom property or as a web services SSL bindings custom
property.

If the general bindings are created after the fix pack or APAR
is installed, the property will be added automatically to the
bindings file, and set to true as default.

Any general bindings created before the fix pack or this APAR
is installed will require the custom property be set to true
to honor the SSL transport bingings.

If no bindings are attached to the application, the property
will be set to false as default.

For details on how to set a JVM property, refer to the article
"Java virtual machine custom properties" in the Information
Center for your WebSphere Application Server version and
operating system.

For details on how to set a web services SSL bindings custom
property, refer to the article "SSLTransport policy and
binding properties" in the Information Center for your
WebSphere Application Server version and
operating system.

WebSphere Application Server V7.0 APAR PM00353 fixed this
problem for application specific bindings.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix pack 7.0.0.11.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
page for delivery information:
