| Defect/Enhancement Number | |
| Cause |
The issue is related to the XercesC 2.4 version shipped in Artix 5.5. This has been fixed in XercesC 2.7: |
| Resolution |
Artix 5.6.2 for C contains Xerces 3 which resolves this issue. Upgrade to the latest Artix version i.e. Artix 5.6.2 for C Older versions of Artix included the JAX-RPC implementation, which was based on the C core of Artix. These versions of Artix are also affected by this bug in XercesC. The resolution for these applications is to migrate them to the pure Java JAX-WS implementation, which has no dependency on C and is not affect by this bug. |
| Workaround | Removing the unused namespaces from the request works around this issue. |
