Error description

  • Deploying an application with a Java Web Start RCP GUI Client
    packaged within the WAR module under a folder external to the
    WEB-INF. The installation of the application takes over an hour
    to complete. If the application is built without the client
    packaged inside the deploy takes just a few minutes. It seems
    that WebSphere Application Server is scanning the JARs inside
    the webroot/client folder which is unexpected.
    -
    When processing JavaEE5 enabled web module archives, annotation
    processing incorrectly scans all jars of the web module archive.
    The WAR file annotation processing should only scan jars
    beneath the web module WEB-INF/lib directory.

    ****************************************************************
    The time to install an application takes a very long time when
    there is a large number of files packaged within the WAR
    module in a location external to the WEB-INF directory.
    When processing Java EE5 enabled web module archives,
    annotation
    processing incorrectly scans all jars of the web module
    archive.
    The WAR file annotation processing should only scan jars
    found beneath the web module WEB-INF/lib directory.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The annotation process has been modified to only scan jars
    beneath the web module WEB-INF/lib directory of a Java EE5
    enabled web module.
    
    A custom property has been defined to allow users to revert
    this change if necessary. The property name is
    "com.ibm.ws.amm.scan.disable.PM36144". Setting this property
    to "true" will cause all jars found in the webmodule to be
    scanned for annotations, which is the original (incorrect)
    behavior.
    A value of "false" will restrict annotation scanning to only
    jars found under the WEB-INF/lib path in the webmodule.
    The default value for this property is "false".
    If the property is set, an informational message will be
    displayed in the SystemOut.log file showing the value.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix pack 7.0.0.21.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
