Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
*                  Server V7.0, V8.0, and V8.5                 *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: J2EE 1.4 applications and modules       *
*                      which contain a !DOCTYPE statement in   *
*                      their deployment descriptor may be      *
*                      versioned 1.5                           *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
The deployment descriptor parsing function for an enterprise
application or module sets the application/module J2EE version
based on the SYSTEM attribute of a !DOCTYPE statement or the
schema and version attributes in the root element. The
!DOCTYPE statement is used for J2EE 1.3 and earlier
applications and modules. For J2EE 1.4 and higher the version
is specified by the schema and version attributes.
When loading the deployment descriptor, the !DOCTYPE
statement is processed after parsing the version attribute.
If the deployment descriptor for a J2EE 1.4 application or
module contains a !DOCTYPE statement and the SYSTEM attribute
is absent, or does not match a known version value, the
application or module version will be set to a default value.
The default value is the highest version understood by the
IBM WebSphere Application Server. That can result in a module
being incorrectly interpreted to be a higher version than is
recorded in the descriptor and lead to errors during
deployment.
In this specific instance, a 2.4 version web module had it's
version set to 2.5. This caused the deployment to fail due to
the presence of XMI based bindings/extensions files in the
module. These would be valid for a 2.4 version module but are
not allowed for 2.5 and higher version modules.

Problem conclusion

The parsing function has been changed to not set a default
value for the version if a !DOCTYPE statement with an
unrecognized or null SYSTEM attribute exists.

APAR PM67046 is currently targeted for inclusion in Fix Packs
7.0.0.27, 8.0.0.6, and 8.5.0.1 of WebSphere Application Server.
