Error description

• Abstract:
  
  The bindings.xml doesn't get generated when configuring a
  PolicySetBinding for a WebService provider using the 'Manage
  Policy Set Attachment...' wizard from the services context menu
  
  Problem:
  
  To reproduce, do the following:
  
  The initial setup is:
  http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/websphere/library/tutorials/09
  03_adams/index.html
  
  Then create a Policy Set named 'SJT_Policy' for JMSTransport
  like described in step one of
  http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinfo/v7r0/index.jsp?
  topic=/com.ibm.websphere.base.iseries.doc/info/iseries/ae/twbs_w
  sspsptjms.html
  (Do NOT do steps two and three) and export it from WebSphere
  Application Server.
  
  In Rational Application Developer:
  1. Import the Policy Set created on WebSphere Application Server
  2. Right click Web Service 'EchoService' of project
  'SJT_Project' and select 'Manage Policy Set Attachment...'
  3. Click Add...
  4. Select SJT_Policy as the Policy Set, enter ''Binding1' in the
  binding field and click OK
  5. Click Finish
  
  The bindings.xml file should be generated at
  [Workspace]/SJT_ProjectEAR/META-INF/Binding1/PolicyTypes/JMSTran
  sport,
  but is not.
  
  Local fix:
  
  There is no known workaround at this time.
