Local fix
Add an "any element" to the Renew operation.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: IBM WebSphere Application Server users of * * WS- * * Notification. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: NullPointerException is thrown when * * invoking the Renew operation on a WS- * * Notification subscription manager * * service. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The WS-Notification specification defines the Renew element to contain a sequence of exactly one AbsoluteOrRelativeTimeType elements and an unbounded number of any elements. If the Renew request contains zero any elements in the sequence a NullPointerException is thrown due to a program error.
Problem conclusion
To prevent the NullPointerException the variable referencing the sequence of any elements was checked for a null value before being processed. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix packs 7.0.0.27, 8.0.0.6, and 8.5.0.1.
