****************************************************************
The WebSphere Application Server for z/OS controller region,
when -Xcheck:jni set, fails to start with a JVMJNCK038E JNI
error message. This is caused due to lack of synchronization
on GetMethodID method.
Example error message,
"JVMJNCK038E JNI error in GetMethodID: Argument #2
is not a valid object reference. It's type is: local reference
in another thread.
BBOO0035W TERMINATING THE CURRENT PROCESS, REASON=C9C21C50.
BBOO0056E CONTEXT SERVICE 'XYZ' FAILED WITH RETURN CODE=301
WEBSPHERE PROCESS XY1234 ENDED ABNORMALLY REASON=C9C21236"

Problem conclusion

Code was updated to synchronize the call to GetMethodId.

APAR PM92361 is currently targeted for inclusion in
WebSphere Application Server Fix Packs 7.0.0.31, 8.0.0.8, and
8.5.5.2 of WebSphere Application Server.
