APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • The XML representation of a catalog could be malformed, but was
    being stored anyway as being valid. This caused a '404 Not
    Found' response for every API request in the catalog until the
    offending character was removed, and the catalog republished.
    Code was added for specific properties to ensure invalid
    characters are escaped in such a way as to not produce invalid
    XML catalog metadata. As an additional safeguard, a check was
    added to ensure that the final XML representation of a catalog
    is well formed XML before replacing the prior version.
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • An API request might result in a '404 Not Found' if the XML
    representation of the catalog is malformed due to an illegal
    character in a catalog property value.
    

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix
