IBM_API_Connect_ICP_Professional_2018.4.1.4
IBM_API_Connect_ICP_Enterprise_2018.4.1.4

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• A wsdl contains a wsdl:binding.  Inside the wsdl:binding element
  there is the expected soap:binding.
  In addition, there is a second binding named jms:binding.  This
  second binding is unknown to the parser that processes the wsdl
  and causes an error.
  
  The specific error for the customer reporting the problem was
  
  The following name, jms:binding, was bound to namespace
  undefined in
  http://www.tibco.com/namespaces/ws/2004/soap/binding/JMS. This
  is an unrecognized element, please correct.
  

Local fix

• The element causing the problem can be commented out in the
  wsdl.
  For example:
  
  
    <wsdl:binding  name="ABCBinding"  type="tns:ABC">
          <soap:binding style="document"
  transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http"/>
          <jms:binding messageFormat="Text"/>
          <wsdl:operation name="initiateWithdrawalV1">  ...
  
  
  
  to:
     <wsdl:binding  name="ABCBinding"  type="tns:ABC">
          <soap:binding style="document"
  transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http"/>
          <!-- <jms:binding messageFormat="Text"/> -->
          <wsdl:operation name="initiateWithdrawalV1">  ...
  
  
  to avoid the error.
