APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When matching on a specific XPath expression a valid
  Response message might be considered invalid and throw a parse
  error.
  This same Response will succeed on a match all
  action.
  

Local fix

• Change request type from JSON to Non-XML.
  
  In case __JSONASJSONX context is used in a rule as input by
  some action, add a "Convert Query Params to XML" action with
  input INPUT and output "__JSONASJSONX" in front of the rule.
  

Problem summary

• Affected is the use of a service with JSON request type and XML
  or SOAP reponse type.
  
  If there is at least one response rule with an XPath matching
  action, then a correct XML response might generate a parse
  error.
  

Problem conclusion

• Fix is available in 4.0.2.14, 5.0.0.9 and 6.0.0.2.
