Known problems and workarounds

The following problems have been found in this release:

CR number Description
23993

When the WSDL ODA encounters multiple inline schemas that import each other without providing schema locations, it logs warnings or errors. However, the business objects are generated properly.

Workaround: Seperate each schema into an individual file and update the imports/includes to contain the appropriate file locations. Import these individual schema files into the WSDL document using an import statement with the appropriate file locations.

24662

When WebSphere MQ 5.3 CSD03 is used as the JMS provider, the adapter's JMS listener cannot read message bodies after moving the message from the input to the in-progress queue. This is a problem with the WebSphere MQ application.

N/A

Installer creates a repository .in file, which is a concatenation of the artifact files associated with all adapters that have been installed. Because the artifacts for the Adapter for Web Services are in a new format, they have not been concatenated to this file.

Workaround: Manually load the Web Services files using Connecor Configurator or Business Object Designer.
