Tolerate unknown elements for SOAP web services

One of our web service applications is getting a DFHPI1007 error calling a remote service from CICS (so CICS is the web service consumer).

It turned out, that the server system added some optional elements to their web service response in their recent release.

To ensure backward and forward compatibility for minor web service releases, it is essential to tolerate new (optional) elements on both sides (service provider and consumer).

Maybe, it could be configured by feature toggle, so other CICS customers would be able to still use the strict parsing.

Unknown elements could be collected in a separate container, so the application would be able to recognize and handle unknown elements (not needed for our purposes, but might be for other customers).

    If the requirement is not likely to be implemented, we have to recommend our application developers to not use CICS web services. We cannot guarantee, that the service consumer versions will be always aligned with the service provider versions at the same time.

    CICS Development: Looking at current plans, it is not likely that this would be implemented in the next 12-24 months, so correspondingly this requirement is being rejected. You have an opportunity to resubmit in twelve months time if you wish it to be considered then.
