APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Context and Dependency Injection (CDI) beans in the EAR's
  "lib" directory will not be available for injection (@Inject),
  which could lead to an UnsatisfiedResolutionException.  EJB
  proxies built by the CDI container are not serializable and
  only implement a single interface.  This could lead to a
  UnsatisfiedResolutionException or NotSerializableException.

  This APAR addresses the following issues with CDI:
  1) Beans provided by a jar in the "lib" directory of an EAR
  are not available for injection unless specified explicitly in
  the MANIFEST.MF of the module.
  2) Local interfaces of a No Interface View Enterprise Java
  Bean (EJB) are not added to the list of bean types of an EJB.
  The EJB can not be injected using the local interfaces.
  3) The CDI client proxy provided by @Inject for EJBs is not
  serializable.
  4) The CDI client proxy provided for an EJB does not implement
  all business interfaces of the EJB.
  

Problem conclusion

• 1) The CDI container was updated to scans jars in the "lib"
  directory of an EAR.
  2) The CDI container was updated to add local interfaces as
  beans types of No Interface View EJBs.
  3 and 4) CDI container was updated to add serializable and all
  interfaces of the EJB to the client proxy.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 8.0.0.1.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
