APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• This apar is for the Feature Pack for Web services and is the
  equivalent to PK69454 which was written for the Feature Pack
  for EJB 3.0. The problem is a failure to deploy due to:
  
  ADMA5006E: An error occurred configuring
  BOXIR3_AnalyticalReporting in
  WebSphere Application Server repository:
  com.ibm.ws.metadata.annotations.AnnotationException: Annotation
  processing failed for class:
  com/ibm/icu/impl/data/LocaleElements_zh__PINYIN.class
  
  Caused by: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
  at org.objectweb.asm.ClassReader.readClass(Unknown Source)
  at org.objectweb.asm.ClassReader.accept(Unknown Source)
  at org.objectweb.asm.ClassReader.accept(Unknown Source)
  at
  com.ibm.ws.metadata.annotations.AnnotationConfigReader.getAnnota
  tionData
  (AnnotationConfigReader.java:439)
  

Local fix

• LocaleElements_zh__PINYIN.class is a Chinese locale class
  located in icu4j.jar  If your application does not require the
  chinese locale, this class can be removed from your application
  and rebuild your EAR.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of the IBM WebSphere Application  *
  *                  Server V6.1 Feature Pack for Web Services   *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: An 'AnnotationException' may occur      *
  *                      when a corrupt Java class is scanned    *
  *                      for annotations.                        *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:  Install a Fix Pack containing this APAR.    *
  ****************************************************************
  The WebSphere Application Server scans classes in an
  application. If the application contains a corrupt Java
  class, an 'AnnotationException' error may occur.
  
  This exception is not expected by the WebSphere Application
  Server and the application will not start.
  

Problem conclusion

• The code is changed to tolerate the corrupt class.
  You will need to fix the corrupt class; however, the
  WebSphere Application Server will tolerate the corrupt class
  and allow the application to start.
  
  Information about the corrupt class is written to the FFDC
  system logs.  In addition, information about the corrupt
  class can be obtained by setting the trace setting to
  com.ibm.ws.metadata.*=all
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fixpack 6.1.0.25.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
  page for delivery information:
