PM45480: PROBLEMS WHEN TRYING TO LOOK UP SERVICE EXPORTED FROM A CBA

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• This problem has several symptoms:
  1. Failure to import a CBA that contains a bundle that exports a
  service (used a workaround instead).
  2. Application failed to lookup a service exported by a CBA.
  3. An exception is thrown when application is restarted
  
  The problem is that the CompositeBundleArchive (.CBA) must
  define a
  CompositeBundle-ExportService: within it's COMPOSITEBUNDLE.MF
  file and
  the 'Feature Pack for OSGi Applications and
  Java Persistence API 2.0
  Version 1.0.0.3' errors when you try and install a CBA with a
  defined CompositeBundle-ExportService and then inject and use as
  part of
  a bundle within an EBA that uses the CBA as defined in the
  APPLICATION.MF.
