APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• A fast path should be added to check the context root of
  existing installed applications with no application.xml
  deployment descriptor when installing a new application.  This
  is because costly annotation scanning will occur to determine
  the context root if no application deployment descriptor
  exists.
  

Local fix

• N/A
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
  *                  Server V7.0                                 *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Installation of an enterprise           *
  *                      application takes a long time to        *
  *                      complete.                               *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  During enterprise application deployment, the check for a
  duplicate context root across all existing applications that
  are targeted to the same node as the new application causes a
  performance issue when there are existing enterprise
  applications with no application deployment descriptors in
  them.
  

Problem conclusion

• A new custom property,
  com.ibm.websphere.management.application.persistWebContext, is
  provided to persist the web module context information in a
  deployment file. To set the custom property, follow one of the
  steps below:
  
  To enable the system property in the Administrative Console:
  a) In an Network Deployment environment, the system property
  needs to be set on the deployment manager.
  System administration --> Deployment manager --> Java and
  Process Management --> Process definition --> Java Virtual
  Machine --> Custom properties --> New
  Name :
  com.ibm.websphere.management.application.persistWebContext
  Value : true/false
  
  b) In a Base edition Application Server environment, the system
  property is set on server1.
  Servers --> Server Types --> WebSphere application servers -->
  server1 --> Java and Process Management --> Process definition
  --> Java Virtual Machine --> Custom properties --> New
  Name :
  com.ibm.websphere.management.application.persistWebContext
  Value : true/false
  
  To enable the system property when running wsadmin in local
  mode, it can be set as an option when starting wsadmin or in
  the wsadmin.properties file.
  a) To set the system property when starting wsadmin do the
  following:
  wsadmin -conntype NONE -javaoption
  "-Dcom.ibm.websphere.management.application.persistWebContext
  =<value>"
  where <value> can be true or false.
  
  b) To set the system property in the wsadmin.properties file
  found at <was_install>/profiles/<profile_name>/properties, add
  the following line with <value> being true or false:
  com.ibm.websphere.management.application.client.persistWebContex
  t=<value>
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 7.0.0.17.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
