             Summary: In the admin console the seiMethodHeaderParameter service 
parameter should not be modifiable
                 Key: AXIS2-5716
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-5716
             Project: Axis2
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: admin console
    Affects Versions: 1.6.2
            Reporter: Olivier Vanekem


In the admin console, some services are automatically tagged with the 
seiMethodHeaderParameter service parameter.
This parameter takes an array as value instead of a String.
Because it appears in the parameters in the console, changing any other 
parameter for the service will also send a value to this 
seiMethodHeaderParameter parameter. This issue is that the admin console sends 
all parameter values as String and therefore the seiMethodHeaderParameter now 
contains a String value instead of an array.

This will result in an exception of the service at runtime with a 
ClassCastException cannot cast a String into an array.

See such an exception below:

[ERROR] java.lang.String cannot be cast to java.util.ArrayList
java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String cannot be cast to 
java.util.ArrayList

Looking at the code of MustUnderstandUtils, we see indeed that it tries to 
retrieve the value of the seiMethodHeaderParameter service parameter as in:

{code:java}
ArrayList seiMethodHeaders = 
(ArrayList)axisService.getParameterValue("seiMethodHeaderParameter");
{code}

And this generates the exception because we changed (another) service parameter 
but the admin console updated also seiMethodHeaderParameter with a string value.
