Problem summary

    * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
    *                  Server having applications using web        *
    *                  services and wanting to reduce              *

    *                      include-filters does not entirely       *
    *                      prevent excluded JARs and packages      *

    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    The following error message is displayed in SystemOut.log:
    AnnotationCon E CWMDF0002E:
    Annotation processing failed with the following error:
    com.ibm.ws.metadata.annotations.AnnotationException:
    Annotation processing failed for class: <NAME OF CLASS>
    However, the class displayed in the error message is one
    that you did not want scanned for annotations. Specifically,
    you have used an included-filter to specify which application
    JARs and packages are to be included in the scanning for
    applications, and the class displayed in the error message
    is in a JAR or package which should not be scanned.
    This normally will not result in an error message.  Rather
    the result is slower performance, which might or might not
    be noticeable.  The error message only appears if a class
    being scanned is corrupt.
    

Problem conclusion

  • It was found that the web services component of WebSphere
    Application Server had not implemented include-filters.  This
    means that if your application contains web services, then
    the include-filter is ignored during web services processing.
    
    The web services code has been updated to implement
    include-filters.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix pack 8.5.5.17 and 9.0.5.3.  Please refer to the Recommended
