****************************************************************
The problem occurs when you update an application using the
WebSphere Application Server administrative console or wsadmin
tool by adding a module file to an application. At a point near
deployment completion the code was saving the application
archive and then reopening it.  On the reopen, an absolute
file path was used when a relative path was expected.  The
problem has no functional impact, however deployment and
startup time might be increased.

Problem conclusion

The problem was resolved by changing WebSphere Application
Server code to avoid doing an unnecessary save and reopen of
the archive.
There is no workaround for this problem.  The fix for this
APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix packs 7.0.0.23
and 8.0.0.3  Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for
