Error description

  • While starting an application, runtime generating the
    java.lang.ClassCastException, if the JAXBContext implementation
    was packaged insight the application.
    
    We did further investigation with EJB Container team, and it
    appears that this may be an issue in which the thread context
    class loader is incorrect when the JAXB context is created
    within WebSphere Application Server, causing JAXP
    implementations to be loaded from an incorrect class loader and
    resulting in this ClassCastException.
    
    The JPA component currently sets the application class loader
    too broadly while performing application startup processing.
    This needs to be narrowed to only the code that creates the
    entity manager factory so that the JPA component will use the
    built in JAXB runtime while reading persistence.xml rather than
    incorrectly using the JAXB runtime from the customer
    application.

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED:  IBM WebSphere Application Server V6.1 and   *
    *                  V7.0 users of Java Persistence API (JPA)    *
    *                  and JAXB overriding.                        *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: ClassNotFoundException is thrown when   *
    *                      a JPA application uses "parent          *
    *                      last" class loader delegation and       *
    *                      includes JAXB.                          *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    The JPA runtime changes the context class loader during its
    processing for module start, which includes parsing
    persistence.xml files using JAXB.  The JAXB API uses the
    context class loader to load an implementation, which finds
    the JAXB implementation in the application because of "parent
    last" class loader delegation.  The resulting implementation
    is not compatible, and ClassCastException is thrown.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Updated the JPA runtime to only change the context class
    loader while creating the container entity manager factory.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix packs 6.1.0.37 and 7.0.0.17.  Please refer to the
    Recommended Updates page for delivery information:
