  expanded to provide support for these modules.

  * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
  *                  Server deploying applications with EJB 1.x  *
  *                  or 2.x modules                              *

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Extend Just-In-Time deployment to EJB   *
  *                      1.x and 2.x modules that don't          *
  *                      contain entity beans                    *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  Applications containing EJB 1.x or 2.x modules require use of
  the depecrated EJBDeploy tool. The Just-In-Time deployment
  feature of WebSphere Application Server should be extended to
  handle older EJB modules that don't contain entity beans.
  

Problem conclusion

• In prior releases of WebSphere Application Server,
  Just-In-Time deployment only supported EJB 3.x modules. All
  applications with EJB 1.x and 2.x modules had to be processed
  by the EJBDeploy tool, which is deprecated.
  
  Now, any application with modules that do not contain entity
  beans can simply be installed and used without first using the
  EJBDeploy tool.  The createEJBStubs tool has also been updated
  to support EJB 1.x and 2.x modules containing remote
  EJB interfaces.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix packs 9.0.5.0 and 8.5.5.16 for WebSphere Application
  Server. Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for
  delivery information:
