Error description
After upgrading WebSphere Application Server version to 6.1.0.33 or 7.0.0.13 from previous versions, JAX-RPC web services might experience the following error: WSWS3163E: Error: The Web services engine could not find a target service to invoke! targetService is xxxxxx Note: The error only occurs after upgrading WebSphere Application Server to the 6.1.0.33 or 7.0.0.13 fix packs. Prior to upgrading, the same application works without any issues. The error is especially likely to occur when a mixture of clients and server requests are running on an application server.

Problem conclusion
The problem was introduced by APAR PM08816 in WebSphere Application Server 6.1.0.33 and 7.0.0.13. PM08816 improved performance by caching some configuration information for JAX-RPC web services. There was a problem with the fix such that old cached information was sometimes returned. The stale cache information lead to the WSWS3163 error. This was especially true if JAX-RPC client and server requests were running on the same thread. This APAR corrects the stale cache problem so that the correct configuration information is returned. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix packs 6.1.0.37 and 7.0.0.17.
