Problem conclusion

• The JAX-WS runtime is changed to defer the LogFactory
  initialization code until after the application starts.
  
  If similar errors occur when the application is run, please
  install a fixpack containing PM09877.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 6.1.0.33.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
