IC92911: WEBSPHERE MQ V7 JAR MANIFEST DOES NOT CONTAIN THE PCF JAR COM.IBM.MQ.PCF.JAR.

WebSphere MQ V7.5 Fix Pack 7.5.0.3

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The WebSphere MQ V7.5 classes for Java OSGi bundle:
  
  com.ibm.mq.osgi.java_<version_number>.jar
  
  is loaded into an OSGi environment. An application running
  inside the same OSGi environment attempts to use the WebSphere
  MQ Programmable Command Format (PCF) interface to interact with
  WebSphere MQ. When the application tries to use one of the PCF
  classes, a ClassNotFoundException is thrown.
  

Local fix

• Add the PCF jar com.ibm.mq.pcf.jar to the Bundle-Classpath
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  This issue affects users of the WebSphere MQ V7.5 classes for
  Java OSGi bundle who have applications that make use of the
  WebSphere MQ Programmable Command Format (PCF) interface.
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  MultiPlatform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM SUMMARY:
  The WebSphere MQ V7.5 classes for Java OSGi bundle:
  
  com.ibm.mq.osgi.java_<version_number>.jar
  
  contains the file com.ibm.mq.pcf.jar, which holds the classes
  that implement the WebSphere MQ Programmable Command Format
  (PCF) interface. Applications running inside an OSGi
  environment that wish to make use of the PCF interface need to
  ensure that the OSGi bundle loads this bundle.
  
  However, the Bundle-ClassPath statement in the MANIFEST.MF file
  for the WebSphere MQ classes for Java V7.5 OSGi bundle did not
  contain an entry for com.ibm.mq.pcf.jar. This meant that OSGi
  environments did not include com.ibm.mq.pcf.jar on the
  CLASSPATH.
  

Problem conclusion

• The Bundle-Classpath statement in the MANIFEST.MF file for the
  WebSphere MQ V7.5 classes for Java OSGi bundle has been updated
  to include an entry for com.ibm.mq.pcf.jar.
