PM54474: Inherited Web service methods cannot be invoked

Fixes are available

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

A web service implementation class that extends another class
might result in a wsdl file that shows superclass methods,
but these superclass methods cannot be invoked. A client
attempting to invoke one of these methods receives a fault
message similar to:

"The endpoint reference (EPR) for the Operation not found is
... If this EPR was previously reachable, please contact the
server administrator."

****************************************************************
There was an inconsistency in the logic used to determine
accessible operations between WSDL generation tooling and the
webservices runtime.  In the case where there is no service
endpoint interface and there is no @WebService annotation on
the superclass, WSDL lists superclass operations for which
the webservice runtime did not allow access.
For example,
@WebService
public class A extends B{}
public class B{
@WebMethod
public void foo(){}
}
The WSDL for class A would contain an operation foo, but foo
would not be reachable if invoked.

Problem conclusion

The webservice runtime is revised to allow inherited methods
to be invoked in this case.  This behavior change is
enabled by setting the JVM property
jaxws.runtime.inheritedImplMethodsAccessible=true

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

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix pack 7.0.0.23.  The issue does not occur in version 8.0.

Temporary fix

Annotate the superclass with an @WebService annotation, or
specify a Service Endpoint Interface class in the subclass's
@WebService annotation.
