PH49974: WS-TRANSACTIONS INITIALIZATION FAILURE WHEN JAVAX.XML.RPC.SERVICEFACTORY SYSTEM PROPERTY SPECIFIED

APAR status

• Closed as new function.

Error description

• Overriding the ServiceFactory
  created by javax.xml.rpc.ServiceFactory.newinstance() by
  setting the javax.xml.rpc.ServiceFactory Java System Property
  to a non-default value results in WS-Transaction
  initialization failures.
  
  A message is generated in SystemOut of the form:
  
  WSWS1033W: Java class
  com.ibm.ws.Transaction.wstx.WSATSOAPClientHandler that is
  specified for handler WSATSOAPClientHandler cannot be loaded.
  The handler is skipped. The exception is
  java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
  com.ibm.ws.Transaction.wstx.WSATSOAPClientHandler
  (initialization failure)
  ...
  Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException:

  ****************************************************************
  WS-Transactions components require the application
  server's default implementation of the
  javax.xml.rpc.ServiceFactory class.  If the
  javax.xml.rpc.ServiceFactory Java system property is used to
  change the ServiceFactory implementation returned by the
  javax.xml.rpc.ServiceFactory.newInstance() method, then a
  ClassCastException causes the WS-Transaction initialization to
  fail.
  

Problem conclusion

• The WS-Transaction components were modified to access the
  applicationn server's default javax.xml.rpc.ServiceFactory
  implementation independently of the
  javax.xml.rpc.ServiceFactory Java system property.
  
  The fix for this APAR is targeted for inclusion in fix packs
  8.5.5.23 and 9.0.5.15. For more information, see 'Recommended
