Error description
The current map policy has an option that controls how empty elements of XML input should be converted to JSON format. This option currently supports a JSON syntax of name:". This APAR adds options to support a JSON badgerfish property syntax of name: {"$":"} required by some customers
Local fix
Problem summary
An incomplete fix made in 2018.4.1.7 would have the mapping of empty XML elements to JSON incorrectly producing badgerfish which matched the requirement for the wsdl to rest API generator but also caused side effects for existing APIs. This was later corrected<span style="background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255)"> in 2018.4.1.8 for existing APIs, but the requirement for 2018.4.1.7 generated APIs was not met. The wsdl to rest API generator was also updated in 2018.4.1.8 to not require or produce badgerfish output. To accommodate customers that created these APIs on 2018.4.1.7, support for a new API property was added to allow badgerfish output without impacting existing APIs.</span>
Problem conclusion
<span style="background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255)">A fix will be delivered in the API Connect v5.0.8.10, 2018.4.1.15, and 10.0.0.2 GA releases.</span>
