Abstract

provide switch to disable isolation of third-party jax-rs providers

Download Description

PH00438 resolves the following problem:
ERROR DESCRIPTION:
moving from 8.5.5.11 to 8.5.5.12 breaks customer's application. The customer is getting ClassCastException. Changing the classloader delegation is not helping. Tried the isolated library, and also not working.
LOCAL FIX:
NONE
PROBLEM SUMMARY:
USERS AFFECTED:
All users of IBM WebSphere Application Server that use a third party JAXRS provider that rely on WebSphere JAXRS APIs. PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: WebSphere JAXRS applications that use third party JAXRS providers but rely on WebSphere JAXRS API's may encounter exceptions. RECOMMENDATION: None WebSphere JAXRS applications should use the JAXRS APIs corresponding to the JAXRS provider they use. APAR PI75593 corrected the default behavior such that applications using third party JAXRS providers could use the correct APIs. However, some legacy applications that use third party JAXRS providers were written to rely on the APIs delivered with WebSphere. Rather than require potentially complicated adjustments to these legacy applications and the environments in which they run, this APAR introduces a property "com.ibm.websphere.jaxrs.isolateJaxrsThirdPartyImplementations" that defaults to "TRUE" but can be set to "FALSE", allowing users to revert to the previous behavior.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
The property "com.ibm.websphere.jaxrs.isolateJaxrsThirdPartyImplementations" has been added. This property will default to "TRUE" but can be set to "FALSE" to revert the behavior corrected under APAR PI75593 in WebSphere Application Server fix packs 8.5.5.12 and 9.0.0.4. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix packs 9.0.0.9 and 8.5.5.15 Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for delivery information: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg27004980
