Local fix

• N/A
  

Problem summary

• Starting from IBM JDK 8.0.5.15, JAXB unmarshalling fails because
  XSD validation fails with the below exception:
  java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to unmarshall model:
  cvc-elt.4.3: Type 'xs:string' is not validly derived from the
  type definition, 'IDREF', of element 'tns:deployment'.13
  

Problem conclusion

• The method 'isLeaf(RuntimePropertyInfo info)' from
  com.sun.xml.internal.bind.v2.runtime.property.PropertyFactory.ja
  va is updated to make sure 'IDREF' type is always handled as
  leaf.
  .
  This APAR will be fixed in the following Java Releases:
