Error description

• While using a JAX-WS Web service the following error may occur
  in the First Failure Detection Capture (FFDC) log.  The error
  indicates that an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException occurred
  during the asm processing.
  
  Here is an example error:
  CWMDF0022W: An attempt to scan class file XXX in JAR file XXX
  failed with exception:
  "java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException:
  Array index out of range: 1"

  at org.objectweb.asm.ClassReader.accept(Unknown Source)
  at com.ibm.ws.metadata.annotations.AnnotationConfigReader.
  getAnnotationData(AnnotationConfigReader.java:319)
  
  
  Since the JAX-WS runtime ignores the error, the error should
  not be placed in the FFDC log.  The presence of this error
  caused the customer to believe that the Web service had failed.
  

Local fix

• This is just a warning message so ignorable.

Problem conclusion

• The JAX-WS runtime is changed to remove the indicated error
  from the FFDC log.  The condition will be written to the trace
  log for debugging purposes.
  
  This same problem is fixed in the V6.1 and V7.0 version of
  WebSphere Application Server by the APAR PM12818.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 6.1.0.33.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
