Error description

  • A 3 minute delay in application startup was seen followed by
    the message:
    
    BBOO0221W: CWNBV0005W: A validation.xml file was found for the
    /xxxx/xxx.ear/xxx.war module. However, that validation.xml file
    is not configured for validation; therefore this XML file is
    ignored.
    
    Additionally, this issue can occur as an application server
    startup hang condition with a message similar to the the
    following hung thread indication in the Application Server's
    SystemOut.log file when the AppServer does not start or fails to
    start up :

    A 3 minute delay in application startup was seen followed by
    the message:
    BBOO0221W: CWNBV0005W: A validation.xml file was found for the
    /xxxx/xxx.ear/xxx.war module. However, that validation.xml file
    is not configured for validation; therefore this XML file is
    ignored.
    The new Bean Validation APIs in WebSphere v8 attempt to process
    any file named validation.xml, even if it's not intended to be
    used for Bean Validation.  The validation.xml in this case was
    intended for the struts framework of the customer's
    application.
    The following Connection timeout was seen in traces:

Problem conclusion

  • With this fix, code has been added to Bean Validation to allow
    for only the processing of a validation.xml file which is
    defined by the Bean Validation specification, all other
    validation.xml files will be ignored.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for
    inclusion in Fix Packs 8.0.0.8 and 8.5.5.1 of WebSphere
    Application Server 8.0 and V8.5.
