PROBLEM SUMMARY

USERS AFFECTED:
 All users of IBM WebSphere Application
Server Liberty

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
WS-AtomicTransaction always sets
rollback only on webservice exceptions

RECOMMENDATION:
None

WS-AtomicTransaction should not automatically mark transactions
for rollback when an HTTP 500 is received.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:                                             
The WS-AtomicTransaction implementation has been corrected to   
allow client applications to catch exceptions thrown by the     
webservice invocation and decide itself how the transaction     
should be completed.                                            
                                                                
The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix
pack 8.5.5.10.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for
