PH30760: DFHWSADH ERROR DETECTED, ADDRESSING EXCEPTION

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• An EXEC CICS INVOKE SERVICE returns an INVREQ , RESP(16)
  RESP2(6) and Server Fault string 'DFHWSADH error detected'.
  An AUX trace showed there was an ADDRESSING_EXCEPTION.
  
  Trace entry as follows, and a SOAPFAULT.
  
  PI 1F05 PIA1  *EXC* - ADDRESSING_EXCEPTION
  '
  Error at offset +0001044 in document body.
  Character reference is out of supported range.

  CICS WS-Addressing code was processing the SOAP message in
  EBCDIC (1047).
  The code is only interested in the WS-Addressing headers,
  but the parsing process being used means that the entire
  message gets parsed.  When these numeric references are
  encountered they are converted from UTF-8 to 1047.  
  The reference that fails is for a character that does not exist
  in 1047.
  The problematic numeric references are outside of any elements
  that WS-Addressing code would be interested in so they should be
  ignored.

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: "DFHWSADH error detected" when using    *
  *                      WS-Addressing and data in UTF-16.       *
  *                                                              *

  ****************************************************************
  A web service, configured to use WS-Addressing, is called and
  the data contains a UTF-16 character.  CICS parses the entire
  message to process the WS-Addressing information and encounters
  the UTF-16 character.  Data in this code page is not handled
  correctly resulting in a SOAP fault with message "DFHWSADH error
  detected".
  

Problem conclusion

• DFHPIA1 has been updated to ensure the XML can be parsed
  correctly.
