APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

Local fix

• Keep the implmentation JAR file in the shared-classes folder
  instead of the system classpath
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  All users of WebSphere Message Broker V8.0 and IBM Integration
  Bus V9.0 and V10.0 using the JavaComputeNode.
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  z/OS, MultiPlatform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  The BrokerClassLoader is expected to load classes from system
  classpath jars. However if a Java class whose name starts with
  'org.apache' is referenced in a message flow and the
  implementation jar file is in the system classpath then the
  BrokerClassLoader does not load this class and hence the message
  flow fails with java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError exception.
  
  There are a number of resource name changes between WebSphere
  Message Broker and IBM Integration Bus Version 9.0.  For details

• The product now loads the classes from system classpath jars.
