APAR PQ88944 addresses the following defects in WebSphere
Application Server V5.0 for z/OS:

(MD18798) A Client receives the following exception When trying
to invoke a webservice that interacts with JMS.

The following exception was logged parm1=

The Webservices engine attempts to suspend a transaction
which may be running on the current thread.
However since the work was initated from a J2EE Application
Client, there is no transaction associated at that point
and a java.lang.NullPointerException is thrown.

(MD20035) <WAS_HOME>/WebServicesGatewayTechPreview/* is
doubly-encoded in ascii. As a result, key files such as all
properties, shell-scripts, language files, etc fail to load/run
properly.
Problem conclusion
APAR PQ88944 fixes various defects in WebSphere Application
Server V5.0 for z/OS.

(MD18798) This problem has been resolved by ensuring that the
expected absence of a transaction context is properly handled.

(MD20035) All files within the
<WAS_HOME>/WebservicesGatewayTechPreview directory are now
shipped in the proper encoding. In addition, the Webservices
Gateway has also been rolled up to be equivalent to WebSphere
Application Server for Distributed 5.02.3 level of code.

Therefore, the following APARs have also been resolved:


PQ73970  Arrays are incorrectly deserialized when
         running through the Web Services Gateway
PQ75913A NullPointerException occurs in
         WSIFOperation_JCA, plus 4 other problems

PQ77768  Setting up the UDDI Registry to use DB2
         within a deployment manager cell - 9/03 (doc apar)

PQ78763  Moving and renaming of component wsif.compat
         from Enterprise to Base/ND.

PQ79669  WSDL publised by gateway - incorrect
         for multiple faults

PQ79693  SOAP headers are lost by WSGW SOAPHTTPChannel

PQ79940  Updates to translated files

PQ79943  Corrections to save/restore

PQ79945  Security Headers incorrectly passed
         through Web Services Gateway

APAR PQ88944 is associated with SERVICE LEVEL W502009 of
WebSphere Application Server V5.0 for z/OS.
