Changes

The problem only shows up when try to attach OWSM policies to SOA REST endpoints. Attaching OWSM policies to other SOA endpoints via FMW Control works.

The problem does not show up with SOA 12.1.3 BP 2 and earlier.
The problem does not show up with SOA 12.1.3 BP 4 + patch 18772533 nor with SOA 12.1.3 BP 4 + patch 18772533
