Problem conclusion

  • A new class was introduced in fixpack 8.0.0.8 and the class
    was not imported to some bundles in Application Client and it
    caused NoClassDefFoundError.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix packs 8.0.0.9 and 8.5.5.3.  Please refer to the
