Problem

IBM Was use own axis framework for web service client. Problem is when you use third part library for web service client, (axis2, jax-ws) client code is generated by third part library. There can be a discrepancy between generated code and was ws library.

Solution

Use local classloader first for your application. (WAS administration console)

Enterprise Applications > "your_app" > Manage Modules > "module_name" > Custom properties

add: com.ibm.websphere.webservices.DisableIBMJAXWSEngine = true

Enterprise Applications > "your_app" > Manage Modules > "module_name"

select: "local classloader first (parent last)"

Enterprise Applications > "your_app" > Class loader

tick: Override class reloading settings for Web and EJB modules tick: Classes loaded with local class loader first (parent last) tick: Class loader for each WAR file in application
