PQ92892: SAXParseException when '<' is chosen for command prefix for JMS.

 A fix is available

Obtain the fix for this APAR



APAR status
Closed as program error.

Error description
The customer wanted to use the valid '<' as the command prefix
for JMS Provider.  However, the '<' character is not handled
right in the server.xml file.  The following error shows up when
JMS is started:
.
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The value of attribute "value"
must not contain the '<' character.
org.apache.xerces.parsers.AbstractSAXParser.parse(AbstractSAXPar
ser.java
Local fix
As a workaround, you can manually edit server.xml and substitute
"<" with "<"
So if your entry looks like this:
       <properties xmi:id="Property_20" name="was.cmdPrefix"
value="<" description="zOS Command Prefix for QM"
required="false"/>
.
You should change it to:
       <properties xmi:id="Property_20" name="was.cmdPrefix"
value="<" description="zOS Command Prefix for QM"
required="false"/>
.
After the changes have been made, then restart the server.

The customer wanted to use the valid '<' as the command prefix
for JMS Provider.  However, the '<' character is not handled
correctly in the server.xml file.  The following error occurs
when trying to start JMS:
 org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The value of attribute "value"
 must not contain the '<' character.
 org.apache.xerces.parsers.AbstractSAXParser.parse(
   AbstractSAXParser.java

If the '&' is entered instead of the '<', a smiliar error will
occur.
Problem conclusion
To fix these, in the server.xml, the command prefix '<' should
be replaced with '<' and '&' should be replaced with '&'.
The dialog will be updated such that the command prefix '<' in
the server.xml will be replaced with the string '<' and '&'
will be replaced with '&'.
