PM11345: DYNAMICERROREXCEPTION OCCURS WHEN INVOKING THE SDO.ISSET METHOD

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When calling DataObject.isSet(String xpath) with a valid XPath.
  The XPath contains an intermediate property that is not set.
  In this example, "thisPart" is not set:
  
  @Test
  
     public void testIsSetRequestID()
        throws Exception
     {
        assertFalse(sdo.isSet("thisPart/someValue"));
     }
  
  The following exception occurs:
  
  com.ibm.xml.xci.errors.DynamicErrorException: XX0000: (XX0000)
  (Invalid
  intermediate property value when evaluating the following path:
  thisPart/someValue)
   at com.ibm.xml.sdo.model.path.SDOPath.getContainer(Unknown
  Source)
   at com.ibm.xml.sdo.model.path.PathManager.sdoPathIsSet(Unknown
  Source)
   at com.ibm.xml.sdo.model.path.PathManager.pathIsSet(Unknown
  Source)
   at com.ibm.xml.sdo.model.DataObjectElement.isSet(Unknown
  Source)
   at tester.SDOTest.testIsSetRequestID(SDOTest.java:56)
  
  
  This is incorrect compared to what the SDO 2.1.1 requires.

  DynamicErrorException occurs when invoking the
  DataObject.isSet(String) method if the string is an SDOPath
  for which intermediate properties are not set.
  

Problem conclusion

• Added code to check for unset intermediate properties, and if
  found, simply return false rather than throwing the exception.
  
  APAR PM11345 is currently targeted for inclusion in Service
  Level (Fix Pack) 1.0.1.3 of WebSphere Application Server v7
