Problem conclusion

• Follow these instructions to bypass stackmap recalculation for
  code coverage support when the code is running in Java 6 JVM:
  
  1. Ensure your WebSphere Application Server is started.
  2. Access your WebSphere Application Server administrative
  console.
   For z/OS: Go to Application servers > server name > Process
  definition >Servant > Environment Entries
              For non-z/OS: Go to Application servers > server
  name > Process definition >   Environment Entries
  3. Add a new variable "BCI_STACKMAP_RECAL" and specify "6" as
  the value.
  4. Stop the server, restart the server and run the application.
  
  The fix for this APAR is included in Rational Application
  Developer version 9.1.1.1.
