APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• An OSGi application deployable to the Liberty Profile
  that makes use of the package:
  com.ibm.websphere.jaxrs.providers.json4j
  with version range [0.0,1.0) cannot be deployed to the full
  profile. Trying to do so results in an error like this:
  
  CWSAL0015E: Cannot resolve EBA file. Exception:
  org.apache.aries.application.management.ResolverException: The
  system cannot provision the EBA my-application because the
  following problems in the dependency chain were detected:
  The package dependency
  com.ibm.websphere.jaxrs.providers.json4j required by bundle
  my-bundle cannot be resolved..
  
  Additionally, the bundle jar
  org.apache.aries.blueprint_0.4.1.ibm-s20120308-0347.jar was
  mistakingly located in dev/spec instead of lib/

  The bundle named contains an 'Import-Package' header in its
  MANIFEST.MF file and that contains an entry for the
  com.ibm.websphere.jaxrs.providers.json4j package. A 'version'
  attribute for that package has also been specified. The
  version range includes the version of the package present in
  the Liberty profile but not the version present in the full
  profile.
  

Problem conclusion

• The Liberty profile has been corrected so that it contains the
  same version of the com.ibm.websphere.jaxrs.providers.json4j
  package as the full profile. Subsequently an OSGi application
  that contains a bundle developed for the Liberty profile that
  imports the package can deployed on either the Liberty profile
  or the full profile.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 8.5.0.1. Please refer to the Recommended
