Cause

The issue was with the JDK being used internally by WebSphere's Java2WSDL utility.
In 9.4, the product jars are compiled using JDK 1.7. WebSphere Application Server 8.5.5 by default uses JDK 1.6 for the Java2WSDL utility hence it is not able to the read the product jar files present in the classpath.

Resolving The Problem

Update WebSphere Application server profile command default JDK to 1.7 to resolve the issue.

You may use managesdk command present in WebSphere/AppServer/bin to switch the JDK version.



 Example: managesdk.bat/sh -setCommandDefault -sdkname 1.7_64

Refer to http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSAW57_8.5.5/com.ibm.websphere.nd.doc/ae/rxml_managesdk.html for more details on managesdk command
