APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Due to a change introduced by APAR PI05855, the following
    problem may occur after WebSphere Application Server is upgraded
    to V7.0.0.33, V8.0.0.9, V8.5.5.2, or later fix packs that do
    not include the fix for this APAR.
    
    Applications containing Web Services may fail during application
    deployment or may fail to start due to an error generating a
    WSDL file.  The following error may be seen in the
    SystemOut.log:
    
    WSWS7027E: JAX-WS Service Descriptions could not be correctly
    built because of the following error:
    javax.xml.ws.WebServiceException: WSWS7054E: The Web Services
    Description Language (WSDL) file could not be generated for the
    com.mycompany.mypackage.MyService Web service implementation

Local fix

  • The problem can be avoided by configuring all of the dependency
    JAR files of the ServiceImpl class on the classpath attribute of
    the MANIFEST.MF of the module (WAR or EJB JAR).

    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    For a performance improvement, APAR PI05855 changes the
    strategy of module extraction when generating a WSDL file.
    Only the JARs specified in the MANIFEST classpath of the WAR
    or EJB JAR module containing JAX-WS web services will be
    extracted during WSDL generation.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Add a JVM custom property
    "com.ibm.websphere.webservices.ExtractEntireModuleForWsgen" and
    set it to "true" to restore the old behavior before
    APAR PI05855. The default value of this property is false.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix packs 7.0.0.39, 8.0.0.11 and 8.5.5.6.  Please refer to the
    Recommended Updates page for delivery information:
    http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg27004980
    

Temporary fix

  • Configure all the dependency JARs of JAX-WS implementation
    class in the the MANIFEST classpath of the WAR or EJB JAR
    module containing JAX-WS web services.
