IC92913: WEBSPHERE MQ V7.5 CLASSES FOR JMS OSGI BUNDLE MANIFEST.MF FILE IS INCORRECTLY EXPORTING COM.IBM.MQ.PCF PACKAGE

WebSphere MQ V7.5 Fix Pack 7.5.0.3

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The WebSphere MQ V7.5 OSGi bundle
  com.ibm.msg.client.osgi.wmq_7.5.0.0.jar needlessly exports
  the com.ibm.mq.pcf package. This package is not contained within
  the
  bundle.
  

Local fix

• The JARs within the bundle
  com.ibm.msg.client.osgi.wmq_<version number>.jar do not
  contain any classes within the com.ibm.qm package. The
  reference to it in the Export-Package statement within
  the bundle's MANIFEST.MF file should be removed.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  This issue affects all users of the WebSphere MQ V7.5 classes
  for JMS OSGi bundle:
  
  com.ibm.msg.client.osgi.wmq_<version number>.jar
  
  who are loading the bundle into an OSGi environment that
  validates the contents of the bundle's MANIFEST.MF file.
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  MultiPlatform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM SUMMARY:
  The WebSphere MQ V7.5 classes for JMS OSGi bundle:
  
  com.ibm.msg.client.osgi.wmq_<version number>.jar
  
  contain the classes that implement the WebSphere MQ messaging
  provider.
  
  The Export-Package statement within the MANIFEST.MF file for
  this bundle included entries for the following packages which
  were not in the bundle:
  
  com.ibm.mq.external
  com.ibm.mq.pcf
  com.ibm.mq.jmqi.test.utils
  
  When the bundle was loaded into an OSGi environment that
  validated the information in the MANIFEST.MF file, the
  validation failed as the bundle did not contain any classes
  in the three packages shown above. This prevented the bundle
  from being loaded, which would mean that it could not be used
  inside the OSGi environment.
  

Problem conclusion

• The Export-Package statement in the MANIFEST.MF file for the
  WebSphere MQ V7.5 classes for JMS OSGi bundle:
  
  com.ibm.msg.client.osgi.wmq_<version number>.jar
  
  has been updated so that it only includes entries for packages
  which have classes contained within the bundle.
